Download or read book Inventing New England written by Dona Brown and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaint, charming, nostalgic New England: rustic fishing villages, romantic seaside cottages, breathtaking mountain vistas, peaceful rural settings. In Inventing New England, Dona Brown traces the creation of these calendar-page images and describes how tourism as a business emerged and came to shape the landscape, economy, and culture of a region. By the latter nineteenth century, Brown argues, tourism had become an integral part of New England's rural economy, and the short vacation a fixture of middle-class life. Focusing on such meccas as the White Mountains, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, coastal Maine, and Vermont, Brown describes how failed port cities, abandoned farms, and even scenery were churned through powerful marketing engines promoting nostalgia. She also examines the irony of an industry that was based on an escape from commerce but served as an engine of industrial development, spawning hotel construction, land speculation, the spread of wage labor, and a vast market for guidebooks and other publications.
Download or read book The Three Cs of Industrial Social Control in Nineteenth Century Connecticut written by Charles Meier McMahon and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Revolution launched the United States into a period of unforeseen economic and social development. The First Industrial Revolution, initiated by Samuel Slater in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, took place in New England. While significant growth in manufacturing surely created greater job opportunities, it also led to previously unheard of levels of social control. In the last twenty years, historians, archaeologists, and sociologists used Lowell, Massachusetts as the prime case study for examining industrial social control. While the settlement at Lowell offers significant information worthy of study, its founders were not the first to institute this unique breed of social control. Collinsville, Coltsville, and Cheneyville, Connecticut are equally important. Within years of Lowell's founding, Samuel Collins initiated substantial reform in his model village of Collinsville. Later in the nineteenth century, Samuel Colt created a vast complex of buildings in the South Meadows section of Hartford, Connecticut. There, in Coltsville, he oversaw every aspect of employee life. Across the Connecticut River in South Manchester, the Cheney family oversaw what has been described as the ultimate model village. There, they implemented the tenants of "welfare capitalism" and provided for every aspect of employee life. In this paper, these three communities will be examined, illustrating a pattern of industrial social control in Central Connecticut during the early to mid-nineteenth century. This examination will prompt further study of the interconnectedness between Connecticut's early mill towns. Within each chapter of this piece, a different community is looked at and analyzed. It is my hope to shed light on three industrial settlements that, while often examined separately, reveal all the more when looked at together. Lowell offers significant information both on early industry and social control in Connecticut, but it is hazardous to use it as the only available case study.
