Aberdeen North
Scots in the North American West: 1790-1917 by Ferenc Morton Szasz, Although Scots have never been an exceptionally large immigrant group in North America, their presence in the West proved significant in a variety of arenas. In this unique aberdeen north and engaging new book, Ferenc Morton Szasz outlines the many contributions Scots have made to the development of the region. Scots trappers dominated the fur trade, often proving more loyal to clan than to trading company or nation. Relying on centuries of experience raising livestock for British markets, Scottish investors aberdeen north and managers became highly visible in the post-Civil War western cattle industry with thriving outfits such as the Swan Land aberdeen north and Cattle Company in Wyoming. They introduced new breeds to western ranching, such as the Aberdeen Angus, that remain popular today. Similarly, Scots herders dominated the western sheep industry, running herds of over 100,000 animals. Andrew Little's sheep ranch in Idaho was so famous that a letter addressed simply "Andy Little, USA" found its intended recipient. This book illuminates the many Scottish explorers, traders, adventurers, ranchers, artists, photographers, aberdeen north and writers who helped forge what is perhaps America's greatest cultural export -- the myth of the West.
CLICK HERE Gresley 4-6-2 A4 Class There can be few more iconic classes of express steam locomotive than the 'A4' class of Pacific designed by Sir Nigel Gresley for use on the LNER's East Coast Main Line. Inspired by a trip to France in 1933, where he had seen the results of streamlining on petroleum-engined railcars designed by Ettore Bugatti in terms of reducing wind resistance, Gresley obtained permission to construct these new locomotives as streamliners in early 1935. Although, for ease of maintenance, the streamlining was modified during the war, these stylish locomotives dominated East Coast services for quarter of a century until replaced by another design that became a classic - the 'Deltic' class. After a swan-song for some of the class on Glasgow-Aberdeen expresses, the last of the class was withdrawn in 1966. Six of the class survive in preservation, with two of the examples being on display in North America.
