Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and intimate look at the development of American mechanics and engineering in the first half of the 19th century. The author, born in 1808, grew up in Philadelphia surrounded by the bustle of the cityââ â¢s vibrant machine shops and skilled craftsmen. Drawing on his childhood experiences and his personal relationships with many of these artisans, the author provides a vivid picture of a time when America was forging its own industrial identity. He details the innovations and ingenuity behind Philadelphiaââ â¢s remarkable fire-fighting apparatus, a testament to the cityââ â¢s entrepreneurial spirit and the collaborative nature of early American engineering. The book takes us into the workshops of men like Patrick Lyon and Isaiah Lukens, showcasing the technical prowess and the collaborative spirit of these skilled mechanics. The author even recounts his own journey to England in 1832, where he witnessed the advanced technology of the Old World and its influence on American industry. This book is a fascinating account of a pivotal period in American history, one where the foundations for an industrial nation were being laid, brick by brick, and where the spirit of invention was as important as the tools themselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333076436_0
