Download or read book The Coming of Industrial Order written by Jonathan Prude and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1985-10-31 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of antebellum industrialisation in several communities in rural Massachusetts illuminates what industrialisation meant in the early to mid nineteenth-century. Jonathan Prude probes the tensions produced by the conflict between innovation and the received attitudes and institutions that still shaped daily existence. Two connected but discrete areas of tension emerged: that between workers and managers within certain manufacturing establishments (especially textiles), and between manufacturers and the communities in which they were located. The book demonstrates that antebellum industrialisation had a rural as well as an urban dimension and that, far from being the untroubled process described by some historians, it was a phenomenon characterised by deep conflict.

Download or read book Wrestling Sturbridge written by Rich Wallace and published by Laurel Leaf. This book was released on 2008-12-24 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Sturbridge, Pennsylvania, a small, dead-end town with nothing to do and no way out. At least that's how Ben, a high school senior and the second-best 135-pound wrestler in school, sees it. But Ben's fed up with being stuck on the bench, watching as his friend Al, the state champion, gets all the glory. If Ben doesn't get his life in gear, he could end up like his father and the other men in Sturbridge--working on the line in the cinder block factory. Spurred on partly by a wise, intense young woman, and partly by a strength found deep within himself, Ben looks for a way out--his whole life depends on it. In the words of Newbery medalist Jerry Spinelli, "Wrestling Sturbridge isn't just an outstanding first novel; it's an outstanding novel, period."

Download or read book Southbridge written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Southbridge, the "Eye of the Commonwealth," as it appeared from 1835 to 1955. Incorporated in 1816, Southbridge is comprised of land once part of the towns of Charlton, Dudley, and Sturbridge. The town's first settler was James Deneson, who came to the area in 1730 and spent a short time in a rock shelter just south of the Quinebaug River before building a dwelling for himself and his family. By 1732, more pioneers had arrived, and Moses Marcy set up sawmill operations downstream from the Deneson farm. Marcy's sawmill was just a hint of the industry that prospered in the town over the next two hundred years. Southbridge presents historical images of the town as it grew and thrived during and after the Industrial Revolution, from the Globe Manufacturing Company to the world-renowned American Optical Company. Southbridge is defined not only by its industrial past. Equally important are the images of the commerce, agriculture, and everyday life of its people.

This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When farmer Joel Dunton of Franklin, Massachusetts was killed by a kick from his plow horse on July 1, 1849, he left behind not only a wife and four children, but also a lasting mystery about his origins. Several area newspapers reported the accident, but no obituary was published and no personal information was provided about the victim. Was he an immigrant from Scotland, as some descendants believe? Was he a member of one of the Dunton families who'd resided in New England for generations? Decades of research have yielded no answers but the author has nevertheless managed to document detailed information on four generations of individuals who share ancestry with the mysterious Joel" -- publisher's description.
