More Horses in Motion goes into further detail on several of the carousels mentioned in the earlier book. Here, you'll find even more local carousels and some rarely seen photographs. You'll also find the interesting answers to many questions, including: What carousel burned down as as the result of a lightning strike in 1895? Why did city officials choose not to renew a license for a carousel in 1898? What was the reason behind a carousel operator applying for a pistol permit in 1905? Where was the short-lived Treasure Island? What about Boardwalk Park and Moose Park? What was so controversial about the Irondequoit Mall carousel in 1991? These questions and more are all answered in More Horses in Motion. This second book is packed with new information that will give carousel enthusiasts a deeper appreciation of the carousels that operated throughout Monroe County, New York.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA charming collection of color photographs and historical information about many of the carousels in Paris. Carousels are said to be a French invention brought about by the accidental death of King Henri II during a jousting tournament in 1559. Renaissance knights stopped jousting, and the games evolved into spearing rings with their lances. The idea of mounting wooden horses on a rotating frame dates to the 17th century. To entertain thousands of people during an event at Versailles, the Sun King, Louis XIV, King of France from 1643 until his death in 1715, had his engineers design the first rotating merry-go-round, a four-seater with gilded chairs for ladies and horses or swans for the men. By the end of the 18th century, there were merry-go-rounds in several of the Parisian public gardens. In the wake of the French Revolution, the merry-go-round, like other sorts of entertainment previously enjoyed by aristocrats, became more easily accessible to workers and their families.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom New York to New Orleans, cities are bringing art to the public with projects designed around animals that have played an important part of their history. There are pigs in Cincinnati, moose in Montana, cows in Chicago and fish in New Orleans. In November 2000 Around Town Carousels Abound was born, and 37 stunning original horses now stand in front of homes, restaurants, businesses, hospitals, and government buildings all over Meridian, Mississippi. Each horse is sponsored by an individual, a company, or an organization. Local artists designed and painted them. As part of the project, over 50 miniature horses were painted by local and national artists, dignitaries, and celebrities, and sold at an auction gala. Proceeds from the auction of miniature horses and the sponsorship of large horses benefit Hope Village for Children. Around Town Carousels Abound has presented $65,750 in donations to date. More donations -- including the proceeds from this book -- will be presented to Hope Village at the close of the project.
