Summary
" The changing impact of industrialization on American society has been a favorite problem for discussion and debate in the academic world. Rarely, however, have the actors of that controversial drama-the workers themselves - been given the opportunity to tell the tale from the uninhibited perspective of personal experience. The candid recollections contained in Cornwall effectively answer that need and, in the process, reveal some provocative and surprising conclusions about working-class response and behavior. Like other industrial ventures of the nineteenth century, the Cornwall Ore Bank Company in Lebanon County generated its share of unskilled and semi-skilled immigrant labor from eastern and southern Europe. Unlike other growing industrial giants, however, the family-operated mining enterprise skillfully constructed a sense of paternalism which engendered a climate of harmony and cooperation. Although basically a periodic treatment of workers' experiences in the twentieth century, the interviews collected here reflect the subtle confrontation between that nineteenth century legacy and the reality of the monopoly capitalism initiated by Bethlehem Steel with its takeover in 1921. A number of events, especially the depression of the 1930s, the CIO unionization drive in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and the mine closings in 1973, would provide a serious challenge to management's hold on the community, and underscore workers' desperate struggle to come to grips with capitalism's unpleasant side effects. Cornwall is an interesting and important contribution to the literature of this complex period of American social and economic history." [from Pennsylvania Heritage Magazine]

Summary
"This book tells how one nineteenth-century group of developers, the Holland Land Company, promoted and organized a settlement of vast wilderness tracts in western New York state. Wyckoff shows that the experience of eastern developers was distinctive from that of other frontier settlers; unlike the isolated pioneer of Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier model or the land speculator in search of quick profits that other historians have described, eastern frontier developers fostered long-term settlement and regional growth by means of carefully formulated and comprehensive plans. Wyckoff discusses how these developers designed surveys, village plats, roads, urban centers, and services to attract desirable settlers..." [book jacket]
