Lowell: The Mill City: Postcard History

Autor The Lowell Historical Society
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2005
From its birth in 1826, Lowell has thrived, declined, and been resurrected as a mill city. Today, it is celebrated for its rich history. These postcards from the 1890s to the 1940s display the energy of this industrial city and its native and<br><br>immigrant population as it grew, built, worked, and played. Vintage cards capture both familiar mills along the Merrimack River and vanished businesses. Coupled with compelling narrative, they tell stories of a horse-drawn fire engine, textile mill workers, grand civic buildings, floods,<br><br>and even the aftermath of an explosion.
