In the 19th century, more so than now, work shaped people's lives. The nature and variety of their labor governed where and how they lived. The main theme of this wide-ranging analytical narrative is how the lives of the working class changed in Britain between 1830 and 1914. Few groups of workers were unaffected by the transformation of the economy; for most, the impact was profound. In a study that deploys a range of primary material and takes account of recent historical writings, the authors examine the nature of the changes that took place and their consequences. The treatment is thematic, while ensuring that a clear account is given of how workers' economic, social, and cultural lives were subject to change.

Ogdensburg recounts the history of the only American city along the St. Lawrence River and the only city in St. Lawrence County. It depicts a bustling and prosperous community that in the first half of the twentieth century was a major port of entry by ship and rail, with an impact that extended westward far beyond the Great Lakes region. It highlights the immigrants who entered the country here and helped build the nation.

Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Massena emerged from its quiet beginnings to become the region’s center for tourism, commerce, and industry. With vintage photographs, Massena documents the people, places, and events that shaped this northernmost New York State town. Shown are early sightseers and seekers of health from the mineral springs; the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), which arrived before Reynolds Metals; General Motors; and, of course, the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Projects.

Around Oswegatchie provides a vivid look at the lifestyle of an area of far northern New York State during the time that it depended primarily on an agrarian existence. In its early days, the town of Oswegatchie was subdivided numerous times into new townships. From Oswegatchie, Lisbon, Morristown, and DePeyster came artists, politicians, industrialists, inventors, and Civil War heroes― people who left their footprints on a nation and helped make a better life for all.
