Description

Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers explores the rise of a new class of industrial entrepreneurs and the world they helped build. This historical study examines the social and economic development of Philadelphia, which served as the largest center for machine building in nineteenth-century America. By looking at business leaders as a specific social group, this book fills a gap in historical research. It connects the local history of industrial growth with the broader national narrative of the United States. Readers will follow the connection between industrial progress and the political shifts of the era, including sectional conflict, the Civil War, and the Reconstruction period. This work provides a deep look at how the boundary between industry and politics shaped the American landscape during a transformative era.
