Famous nationally for its pool halls Minnesota Fats and hustlers but this gives a broader look at the town. This work is not intended to be a formal history of Johnson City. It is however a fascinating collection of early stories and news items having both historical and human interest value. Some of the material in this book had previously appears in the periodical The Johnson City Progress. Johnston City is a city in Williamson County south central Illinois United States. The population was 3543 at the 2010 census. This was a center of coal mining in the early 20th century having a peak of population in 1920. The mining jobs attracted many immigrants from Europe. The eastern part of the city was originally known as Jeffersonville. It was surveyed in 1853. During the American Civil War it was a properous village. The post office was established in 1852 under the name Lake Creek. It was moved to Johnston City in 1903 but it was not until several years after that that Jeffersonville was fully amalgamated into Johnston City. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries a number of immigrant miners from Italy Wales and other areas arrived to work in the coal mines. There were tensions among the different ethnic groups especially when miners went out on strike for better wages and conditions. With the decline of mining the number of jobs fell. By 1940 the city's population was just under 4000. For 2015 the US Census estimated the population at 3500. In the 1960s a decline in coal miners occurred due to safety standards in the coal mines.

1983FLAHIVE-813Stein & Day New York 1983 A fine copy in a fine jacket. A clean tight copy with price $16.95 intact on front flap. This title though purported to be written by the famously "passionate" Cora Pearl "Grand Horizontal" was actually written by Derek Parker a former chairman of the Society of Authors who admittedly used the pseudonym "William Blatchford" to carry out the hoax. "Grand Horizontal" was published in 1983 claiming to be the lost erotic memoirs of Cora Pearl. but the attribution was a hoax. The Scholars treat the book today as erotic fiction and warn that Parker's approach frames Pearl as a literary object rather than re-creating her own voice. Cora Pearl born Eliza Emma Crouch c. 1836-1886 was a celebrated English courtesan who rose to fame in Paris during the Second Empire known for her lavish lifestyle theatrical entrances and relationships with powerful men. She left behind genuine memoirs published in 1886 shortly before her death which offer a more restrained and self-aware account than the later fabricated "Grand Horizontal.". 1st Edition. Hardcover.
