Collectors of tools who marvel and wonder at the dramatic changes in the objects of their interest in the course of just a few decades will find in this classic book from the Smithsonian Institution some insight into the dramatic changes wrought by the rise of technology in America. A latecomer to industrialization, especially in comparison to the British, the unconquered New World was fertile soil in which to sow the seeds of innovation. Moving topically through the various industries, the authors document the incredible changes in the material culture brought about by inventions, factories and mass production. Covering every topic, including clocks, guns, textiles and transportation. A culminating chapter details the rousing reception given to American products at the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851. For a look at the dynamism of pre-Civil War America, we recommend this well written and well illustrated book.
