Description:
Industrial Pioneers
Scranton, Pennsylvania and the
Transformation of America, 1840-1902
by Patrick Brown
During the nineteenth century, Scranton was the face of innovation, immigration, industrialization, and a rising America. Scranton was "the electric city" when electricity was the most exciting invention in the world, and a hub of technology and innovationâ€â€between 1840 and 1902, the city of Scranton changed from a lazy backwoods community to a modern industrial society with 100,000 residents. During this time, Scranton's citizens desperately tried to adapt their thinking to keep up with the overwhelming changes around them, and in the process forged the world views that would define the twentieth century. As globalization, technology and immigration transform the United States today, this book revisits how the people the forefront of the industrial revolution moved from chaos to a new order, and how they found meaning within a rapidly changing world.
