The Achievements and the Days Preview — Go
�The Achievements and the Days� is an essay about evolution, divided into 4 e-books; the first exposes evolution, the last three discuss human history. This essay interprets the past and, on this basis, shows what we should under no circumstance allow in the future, yet are heading full speed towards. Christianity and Christendom were the moving forces that forced the evolution of Man, who was a pawn in the hands of evil tutelary forces, to the Free Man who is master of his destiny. Without them, the West would have remained at the level of the poor souls who live in the terror of God and Gods, instead of in love for one's neighbour.

The Railroads of Pine Plains in New York State Preview — Go
The Central New England Railway (CNE) was a railroad across northern Connecticut and west across the Hudson River in New York. There were actually three railroads that connected in Pine Plains, Dutchess County, NY; the ND&C, the P&E and the P&C. In later years all three became part of the CNE and the New Haven. The New Haven did not want these local lines. All they really wanted was the Maybrook Line and the big bridge in Poughkeepsie. All of the lines in Pine Plains were abandoned in the 1920's and 1930's. The last of the tracks were removed in 1938 and sold for scrap to Japan.
