PUTTING HUMAN FACES ON THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY: the workers of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company by Robert B. Perreault, Saint Anselm College.

Daily life for the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company’s textile worker was not easy. Robert Perreault sheds light on how people from a variety of European countries as well as from French Canada made the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society and how that change affected families, cultures, the nature of work, and relationships among workers themselves. The Library is happy to partner with the Canaan Historical Society to offer this NH Humanities Council program.
