Book Description:
Before the automobile age, when Americans lived close to their families and walked to work, the communities that eventually became metropolitan Boston were busy forging the nation’s industrial future in local mills and factories. The Great Workshop examines the growth of these towns and illustrates a time when Boston was on the cutting edge of a new culture, when its optimistic residents saw themselves as the “hub of the universe,” actively building a better world.
Author Bio: Author and historian Chaim M. Rosenberg is a forty-year resident of Boston and a faculty member at Boston University. His fresh, engaging research into the growth of the Massachusetts Bay communities is complemented here by a colorful selection of vintage postcards, detailed maps, and unique advertisements from Boston’s early industries.
