Paperback. Condition: Good. First published in 1978, this classic book, through vivid oral histories and historic photographs, documents the social and cultural impact of the industry during America's rise as a manufacturing power. For nearly a century, the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company was chief architect of the social, ethnic, and economic existence of Manchester, New Hampshire. In the early 1900s, it was the largest textile mill in the world, employing 17,000; its red brick facade stretched for nearly a mile along the Merrimack River and its payroll drew immigrants by the thousands. In their own words, laborers, foremen, managers, and town residents paint a detailed portrait of the mill's nearly feudal dominance of every aspect of their lives and offer their response to this existence, with fierce pride and an unshakable sense of community. When competition, labor unrest, and obsolescence caught up with the mill in 1936, a weaver recalls, the mills went out and the world stopped for everybody.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Support Small Business by buying this book! 1st Edition (Pantheon - 1978) Ex-library with usual marks. Underlining and marginalia noted in text. Binding is sound. No dust jacket. . . . . . . . . . . I've read another book on mills in the south, and this was definitely better - less repetitive, and individual people's stories more interesting. Learned a lot about the operation of the mills plus the whole organization as a benevolent family; the many things the owners provided for the workers in a day when people didn't have much. The size of the operation and the number of employees was staggering. Very interesting to find that many of the the employees came as immigrants specifically to work in the mills, and stayed in their ethnic groups. The Scots, for instance, were the skilled weavers of gingham. The French came from Canada for better living and sent for their relatives. The Greeks and the Poles learned English and assimilated faster, but the French kept their language and stayed together more. An informative and worthwhile book. -- Old Mama.…
