Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Frankford High School, a Philadelphia school that has educated students since 1910. It attempts to follow the lives of 204 students over the years who attended the school and went on to serve in the Armed Forces, eventually giving their lives in service to the country. Each student made the ultimate sacrifice. This book begins with a brief history of the founding of Frankford High School. You are introduced to "The Heroes of Frankford High School"--the 204 brave individuals who gave their life in military service. There is a profile of each of their lives--where they were born, what their family was like, their education and career path prior to military service, and their time in service until their death. The book includes many pictures and most are photographs from the Frankford High School yearbook. Some others came from family members and are used with their approval. The profiles vary greatly in length. Some of the individuals were well known in their time and much material is available about them. Others were very difficult to research and only the bare minimum of information could be found. But each equally important in their country's service. Let's not forget that these men and one woman, were parents, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and friends who were mourned in their time and should always be remembered and never, ever forgotten. It is the very least that we can do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Arms in the Machine Age traces the growth and development of the United States Arsenal at Frankford, Pennsylvania, from its origin in 1816 to 1870. During this period, the arsenal evolved from a small post where skilled workers hand-produced small arms ammunition to a full-scale industrial complex employing a large civilian workforce. James Farley uses the history of the arsenal to examine larger issues including the changing technology of early nineteenth-century warfare, the impact of new technology on the United States Army, and the reactions of workers and their families and communities to the coming of industrialization. Shortly after the War of 1812, the U. S. Army founded several new arsenals, including Frankford, to build up supplies of arms and ammunition then in short supply. At that time, the Army was held in low regard because of its perceived poor performance in the war, so the arrival of arsenals was not welcomed. By 1870, however, the arsenal at Frankford had integrated itself into the community and become a valued and respected member of it. Farley argues that the Ordnance Department of the U. S. Army created an industrial system of manufacture at Frankford well in advance of private industry. He also contends that the evolution of the Army into an employer of a large-scale civilian workforce helped to end the isolation and anti-militarism that plagued it after the War of 1812. Farley's study joins recent work in the history of technology, such as Judith McGaw's That Wonderful Machine, that seeks to understand technological change in its social and cultural context.
