Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1683, Enfield has experienced a wealth of changes, including the inception of a Shaker community that made Enfield its home for more than a century, the emergence of an immigrant population, and the rise and fall of its two key industries of carpet and gunpowder. Thompsonville's carpet mill operation grew into a huge industrial complex and became the center of village life, while the gunpowder industry took hold in Hazardville, peaking in prosperity during the Civil War and subsequently declining as the need for wartime products waned. In Enfied, Connecticut, the rich history of this New England town is enlivened by over 200 photographs from the 1880s to the 1950s. Combined with extensively researched, informative captions, the snapshots and postcards in this collection enrich our understanding of the communities of Enfield. Preserved within these pages are a variety of images of the people who have contributed to the town's unique character. View rare shapshots of Enfield's founding families as well as its immigrant workers, and learn about the influence that the peaceful Shaker community had on the area, both in terms of fellowship and craftmanship.

Download or read book Enfield 1950 1980 written by Jack M. Malley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past half-century, Enfield has undergone a transformation from a rural mill-and-farming town of fifteen thousand to a substantial suburban community of forty-five thousand. Located in the north central part of the state on the eastern side of the Connecticut River, the town once known as the Carpet City began to change when the carpet industry moved parts of its operation south and Interstate 91 was built, bringing in new businesses and new residents. Enfield: 1950-1980 traces the changing landscape of Thompsonville, Enfield, and North Thompsonville through the carpet-making days to the town's recent past. Exceptional photographs depict major highway construction and the development of the regional mall district, the destructive forces of the 1955 flood and of fires throughout the years, and the unique leaders, businesses, and events that have shaped the town of today.

Book excerpt: Enter a world where honest work makes fatherless families, business agreements become tools of corruption, toxic plagues devastate cities, indigenous policies create profitable opportunities, partnerships devolve into rivalries, racism influences company payrolls, humans become expendable chaff, and haves and have-nots are defined by the type of risks they are willing to take to survive or thrive. Experience life in Savannah, New York City, Brooklyn, Faversham, Peace Dale, Narragansett, Southwick, Enfield, and Hazardville; where gunpowder either makes you a whole man or leaves just enough of you behind to fill a bucket. The story of the rise and fall of the Hazard Powder Company, one of the largest gunpowder manufacturing facilities in the country in the 1800s, is told in detail from its inception to its death in a violent explosion, crisping employees and nearly destroying the nearby town of Hazardville. Meet the Loomis Brothers, Neeland, Parkes, and Allen, tobacconists from Suffield, Connecticut, who, along with Allen Andrews Denslow, a businessman from New Haven, as they purchase nearly 500 acres of woodland bordering the Scantic River and build a small gunpowder mill. Meet Augustus George Hazard, of the Rhode island Haszard's, as he reclaims the glory and social standing his father and grandfather had let slip from their branch of the family by purchasing the mill site and expanding it to rival that of the Duponts of Delaware. Meet Robert Stuart Waddell, star witness for the government and disgruntled employee, as he almost singlehandedly dismantles the Dupont Empire. Meet the Prickett's, émigrés from England, who successfully steer the powdermill through each crisis up until the final concussive explosion. And finally, consider the employees as each meets their maker in explosion after explosion, with most being buried in nearly empty coffins.
