Book excerpt: Join Archivist Melissa Mannon on an exciting journey that begins at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and travels through the advance of the computer age. Discover Waltham's history in this impressive and unprecedented pictorial collection, with photographs selected from the Waltham Public Library and other Waltham historical institutions. Separated from Watertown in 1738, Waltham shed its agricultural roots and went on to become a world-renowned manufacturing center. Entrepreneurs realized the power that could be harnessed from the Charles River and took full advantage of this natural resource. The Boston Manufacturing Company, founded in 1813 by Francis Cabot Lowell and Patrick T. Jackson, was the first mill in the world to mass-produce cotton cloth from start to finish under one roof. Waltham earned its nickname, "Watch City," from the Waltham Watch Company, the largest manufacturer of watches in the world in the nineteenth century. In 1929, Waltham began a third economic boom with the establishment of Raytheon and the electronics industry. Today, Waltham and its neighboring towns on the belt of Route 128 have become one of the country's largest manufacturing centers for computer and electronics equipment.
Download or read book The City of Waltham Massachusetts written by Ephraim L. Barry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City of Waltham, Massachusetts: Its Advantages to Manufacturers and as a Place of Residence; Other Municipal Attractions, With Sketches of the Present Industries Being no exception to the general rule applying to New Eng land agricultural communities, Waltham increased rather slowly in population and wealth, the losses attendant upon the several wars serving as a partial check even upon the natural increase. The records show that in 1764 there were 94 houses and 107 families, the total pop ulation 663, and the number of stores, 14. NO very decided increase was made until after the commencement of operations by the Boston Manufacturing Company in 1812, which gave a decided impetus to the town; while in more recent years the establishment of the American Waltham Watch Company's works in 1853-8, and their subsequent wonderful development, have very materially increased both the pop ulation and wealth, so that from a population of about 1000 in 1810, and in 1865, Waltham is a city today, containing, according to the state census compiled in 1885, souls, or fully at the commencement of 1887. A more comprehensive account of these two great corporations, in connection with the growth of the city, will be found in another part of this volume, the attention of the reader being especially directed to the unusual degree of interest which they have manifested in the welfare of the people about them and in their employ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a family like that, you won’t need enemies. In the waning days of the Catskills hotel era, Stanley and Rachel Roth, the owners of the Cuttman Hotel, were practically dynasty—third generation proprietors of a sprawling resort with a grand reputation. The glamorous and gregarious matriarch, Rachel. The cunning and successful businessman, Stan. Four beautiful children. A perfect family deserving of respect and loyalty. Or so it seemed. Fast forward forty years. The Roths have lost their clout. When skeletal remains are found on the side of the road, the disappearance of Trudy Solomon, a coffee shop waitress at the Cuttman in 1978, is reopened. Each member of the Roth family holds a clue to the case, but getting them to admit what they know will force Detective Susan Ford to face a family she’d hoped never to see again.
