Sobre este título
New Hampshire’s industrial revolution didn’t unfold in quiet workshops. It exploded along the rivers in a storm of spinning frames, flooded mills, and enough cotton lint to make the mountains sneeze.
In this chapter, the state’s fast water becomes the driving force behind Amoskeag’s global textile empire, the mill girls who fought for independence and fair wages, and the waves of Irish and French-Canadian immigrants who reshaped every town they touched. The mills brought innovation, inequality, and rivers so polluted they practically developed personalities of their own.
Through strikes, floods, wars, and endless whistle-blown workdays, New Hampshire forged a new identity: a state that embraced progress without ever surrendering its granite-hard stubbornness. This is the story of how industry built New Hampshire, tested it, dirtied it, and ultimately made it even tougher.
