Description

Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers examines the rise of a new class of industrial entrepreneurs and the world they shaped between 1830 and 1890. This Routledge publication addresses a gap in historical studies by analyzing nineteenth-century American business leaders as a distinct social group. The book combines the social and economic history of Philadelphia, the largest center of machine building in nineteenth-century America, with a narrative of sectional conflict, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. By moving between industrial and political history, this study provides a deep look at the people who drove American economic development during a period of massive change.
