The winners write history. Thus, it is no surprise that the story of American industrialization is dominated by tales of unbridled technical and social progress. What happens, though, when we take a closer look at the archaeological record? That is the focus of this book, which examines labour and working-class life in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century industrial America.
