This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoskeag Manufacturing Company experienced extraordinary growth following its founding in 1831. The complex company developed land and water power and produced rifle muskets for the Union army during the Civil War. America fell in love with the beautiful, long-lasting colors and quality of Amoskeag's iconic gingham. The company's history is one of engineering genius and invention, enlightened city planning and visionary leadership. It is also the story of the workers, including thousands of eager immigrants who came to Manchester seeking economic opportunity and personal freedom. The company struggled through labor disputes and conflicts between economics and altruism. When the doors finally closed in 1936, local business leaders saved the property from abandonment and extended the Amoskeag legacy through a new wave of prosperity. Author Aurore Eaton explores this revolutionary industry and its lasting significance in Manchester.

Book excerpt: Known as New Hampshire's "Queen City," Manchester could be called "Change City." Throughout its history, it has reinvented itself many times. From a Native American fishing and gathering place called Amoskeag to a Yankee colonial town known as Derryfield, it became a multiethnic industrial center, the "Manchester of America," home of the world-famous Amoskeag Manufacturing Company (1831-1936). When Amoskeag Manufacturing closed during the Depression, "the city that would not die" was reborn through more diversified industries that carried it through the post-World War II era. Several decades of urban renewal saw the demolition of many older buildings and entire neighborhoods. Lamenting the loss of Boston & Maine Railroad's Union Station and St. Mary's Bank's marble building, Manchester residents drew inspiration from the US bicentennial in 1976 to create a renaissance of interest in history and architecture, which brought about the adaptation to modern use of several remaining older structures. Yet more major losses came in 1978 and 1989 with the destruction of the State Theatre and Manchester's beloved Notre Dame Bridge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pocket Business Directory and Industrial and Social Statistics of the City of Manchester, N. H., 1884 Manchester, the largest city in New Hampshire, is situated in Hillsborough County, on both sides of the Merrimack river, and was incorporated in 1751 by the name of Derryfield, which was changed to Manchester in 1810. The town was composed of a portion of Chester and Londonderry and a strip of ungranted land lying between those towns and the Merrimack river. In 1855 a portion of Bedford, including Piseataquog village, and a portion of Goffstown, including Amoskeag village, were annexed to Manchester. The territory was originally a favorite resort of the Indians, on account of the fish, which were very abundant in the river, and Passaconnaway and other chiefs of the Pennaeook tribe resided here a portion of the time. The first settlement by the whites was made on Cohas brook, near Goffe's Falls, by John Goffe and others, in 1722. and settlements were made soon after near Amoskeag Falls, by Archibald Stark, the father of Gen. John Stark, and others, and at the Center by John Hall, William Gamble and others. The town was of but little importance previous to 1837, and the population was less than 900 at that time. The people supported themselves mostly by farming. Cotton manufacturing on a small scale was introduced at Amoskeag village (then in Goffstown) in 1800. In 1825 the business was much increased. Three small mills were erected, and sheetings, shirtings, and tickings of a superior quality were manufactured. The tickings, which were sold under the trade-mark "A. C. A.," were soon in great demand throughout the country, and their deservedly high reputation in the market has always been maintained. In 1831 the owners of these mills and others formed a company, and were incorporated as the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, with a capital of $1,600,000. Fifteen hundred acres of land lying on the east side of the river were purchased, and the foundations of a great manufacturing town were laid. A new dam across the river, with guard-locks, and a canal nearly a mile in length, were constructed to utilize the great hydraulic power which was afforded by the fall in the river of nearly sixty feet in the course of a mile.
