In 1801; the first settlers to the Pulaski and Richland area arrived on the eastern shores of Lake Ontario. These communities were shaped by notable personalities; including early residents Nathan Tuttle; Benjamin Winch; and the Mathewson family; tavern owner Pliny Jones; store owner Capt. John Meacham; businessman Charles Tollner; banker Robert Ingersoll; and philanthropist John Ben Snow. They built businesses and industries; shops and homes; and schools and churches that impacted and defined the town. Relying on the areas natural resources; the Salmon River was harnessed to power mills and later lured thousands of fishermen to its waters. The Selkirk Lighthouse became a prominent landmark at the mouth of that river.

Impressive study of a fascinating subject.By K. KawasakiThis is an excellent book; meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated. Its approach is thematic with an emphasis on various influences that shaped the history and styles of Southeast Asian textile; as well as the cultural significance that textile played in the region. The works examined were primarily drawn from the excellent collection of the National Gallery of Australia. The commentary on each work is detailed in terms of the techniques and motifs. Although it is quite comprehensive in coverage; because it is organized thematically rather than geographically; if you are looking for the styles and examples of a particular culture; youll have to pick through the book. Historical photographs offer additional insights into how the textiles were used throughout the Southeast Asia. The writing is good and easy to follow once you get accustomed to the technical terms. I am new to this subject and my reading probably has not yet assessed the full extent of the books merit.
