Dear Visitor,
I am pleased to
introduce USASTATESDATES, a free non-political nor religious oriented
website about American general historical events and facts, timeline
organized per state.
The idea to create
this web site grew because of my personal general interest in
the USA. Most probably due to the many years of employment to
American companies in Europe and extensive travel in many states,
including a historic New York Twin-Towers rooftop visit and a
New Orleans Natchez boat ride, before Katrina's visit.
USASTATESDATES
is focused to visitors of all ages and backgrounds, but all with
a common interest in the historic evolution of the United States
of America, more in particular in the 'growth-process' of a specific
state. It is all about native Americans, pioneers and settlers,
military presence, local governments, creation of towns and lay-out
of infrastructure, religious tendencies, cultural, economic and
industrial development, and much more.
For practical
reasons I limited the period covered to 100 years, the median
for each state being the year of ratification to the Constitution.
Analyzing or comparison of this data, highlights the different
priorities applied by the inhabitants of a state and the speed
of changes in a specific area.
Each date event
and fact description is brief, clear and comprehensive, however
for the visitor who wants to learn more about a person, subject
or location, I refer to the local links, they provide additional
information about the topic, ranging from detailed literature
up to complete travel assistance. For those tempted to visit a
state, county or town I included the major attractions and recreation
areas.
Each USASTATESDATES
event and fact is a compilation-resumé by the editor, of
information careful choosen from various reliable sources, libraries,
local historical societies and official sites. Due to the enormous
quantity of information available and time consuming research
work, the USASTATESDATES site will be under permanent construction
until further notice...a reason to visit us on a regular basis.
To back
up my personal motto "Everyting is susceptible for improvement"
I welcome your critics and comments, to improve the quality and
attractiveness of the USASTATESDATES site.
Greetings
from a Belgian native with US roots living in southern France...enjoy
your USA visit and come back soon.
Ben JH Van Melle - Editor
