The Rise of Industry

by Christopher Collier, James Lincoln Collier

Overview

History is dramatic—and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in a compelling series aimed at young readers. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes, and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation. The Rise of Industry gives a detailed account of the industrialization of America in the last decades of the nineteenth century. It includes descriptions of the technological advances of the late 1800s, poor working conditions, the rise of large corporations and labor unions, and eventual government regulation.

Editorial Reviews

The Colliers have opted for interpretational history...By focusing on broad themes, the Colliers are able to show cause and effect over several decades and to make the sweep of time 'bite-sized' and intelligible.
