Amoskeag Life and Work in an American Factory-City

"[Amoskeag] belongs to the literature of testimony, offering up insights on work experiences, family practices, patterns of sociability, the pleasures and miseries of life and labor in Manchester . . . Tamara Hareven, one of the most intelligent and prolific among contemporary historians of the family, has disclosed something of the life and work patterns of men and women in a great mill. In the course of it, she has also warned us about the insufficiency of simple formulas, the complexity of men and societies, and we are in her debt for it."--New RepublicHareven, Tamara K. is the author of 'Amoskeag Life and Work in an American Factory-City', published 1995 under ISBN 9780874517361 and ISBN 0874517362.
