This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Catholic Genesis of Lowell In the early years of the 19th century, Irish emigrants arriving at the ports of Boston, New York, and even Quebec, were largely attracted by the building of the New England manufacturing towns, especially those along the Merrimack river in north-eastern Massachusetts. These emigrants toiled side by side with the native builders of the mills and canals and dug water-ways which, later, turned the wheels of the big cotton factories and machine shops. As the new industries drew thousands of employes, boarding-housesand homes were erected and Irish laborers used their brain and brawn in their construction. Of these towns, Lowell, (then known as East Chelmsford, ) was the most promising in future possibilities, and hundreds of emigrants of Celtic strain were drawn to its confines. Among them were a certain percent age of skilled Scotch, English and Irish textile workers. In the space of a few years, the new settlement became famous internationally, and the most distinguished travellers of world prominence paid it a visit and marveled at its achievements.

Download or read book Mill Power written by Paul Marion and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mill Power documents the making of a national park that changed the concept of what a national historical park could be. For a time in the 1800s, Lowell was Massachusetts’s cosmopolitan, must-see second city. The city’s industrial model was as high-tech then as Silicon Valley is today. It drew the attention of luminaries like Charles Dickens, Congressmen Davy Crockett and Abraham Lincoln, feminist sociologist Harriet Martineau, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. This insider’s account of the creative, bold community-driven process to establish the park explains why today Lowell National Historical Park is renowned as “the partnership park.” The park’s establishment was an integral piece of an urban revival strategy that has made Lowell the subject of scores of newspaper articles, magazine profiles, TV and radio reports, scholarly papers, and book chapters. Historic Preservation magazine has hailed the park as “the premier rehabilitation model for gritty cities worldwide.” The Lowell story has much to teach the mid-sized cities of the nation and the world. Mill Power frames the Lowell comeback in its historical context and brings together the people who dreamed, wrote, designed, pushed, and cheered a new national park into existence along with those who came after with the charges of shaping the ideas into material form. The volume features 100 photos, many of them showing the before-and-after story of this revitalization.

This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Lowell and Its People, Vol. 3 For ten years, 1909-19, Redmond Welch has been chief of police in Lowell, and there are few dissenters to the statement that in point of efficiency the affairs of the department have never been so well administered. 'he has made a deep study of police problems, has developed strongly as a student of physiology, and depends largely upon a keen judgment of human nature and plain common sense, application of the known laws governing human nature, to guide him. He has brought about a close co - ordination of effort between the various divisions and ranks of the police department, and an unusual good feeling exists between the members. This in itself is a potent force for efficiency, and to this feeling of co-operation and good will is due the high morale of the Lowell force. The chief is an ardent advocate of physical culture, and in his own physical perfection a strong argument can be made of the great benefits to be derived from a systematic and persistent course of physical training. Chief Welch is a son of Redmond and Ellen (broderick) Welch, his father born in County Cork, Ireland, his mother a native of the same county. Both came to the United States in their youth, met, and married in Lowell, Massachusetts, and there Ellen Welch yet resides, aged eighty-eight years. Redmond Welch, Sr., was a farmer in Ireland, and when a young man came to this country, settling at Westford, Massachusetts. He continued a tiller of the soil for years, and was foreman of the large farm owned by Zach Read. He was a man of great physical strength, and in Westford his wonderful feats gained him the title of the strong man of Westford. Later he moved to Lowell, where he became assistant - foreman in the construction department of the old Boston Lowell Railroad. After track laying was completed on that road, he established a teaming business in Lowell, and for thirty years he conducted that business, only ceasing with his death in 1901, at the age of sixty-seven. He was a man of industry and good habits, a devout Catholic, and highly-esteemed by all who knew him. He married Ellen Broderick, who at the time of her marriage was in the employ of the Lawrence Mills Corporation. Three of their nine children are living: Anna; Mary, married Daniel Crowley, a United States letter carrier of Lowell; and Redmond of whom further mention is made.

Book Synopsis How the Irish Became White by : Noel Ignatiev
Download or read book How the Irish Became White written by Noel Ignatiev and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

Book Synopsis Becoming Irish American by : Timothy J. Meagher
Download or read book Becoming Irish American written by Timothy J. Meagher and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins and evolution of Irish American identity, from colonial times through the twentieth century As millions of Irish immigrants and their descendants created community in the United States over the centuries, they neither remained Irish nor simply became American. Instead, they created a culture and defined an identity that was unique to their circumstances, a new people that they would continually reinvent: Irish Americans. Historian Timothy J. Meagher traces the Irish American experience from the first Irishman to step ashore at Roanoke in 1585 to John F. Kennedy’s election as president in 1960. As he chronicles how Irish American culture evolved, Meagher looks at how various groups adapted and thrived—Protestants and Catholics, immigrants and American born, those located in different geographic corners of the country. He describes how Irish Americans made a living, where they worshiped, and when they married, and how Irish American politicians found particular success, from ward bosses on the streets of New York, Boston, and Chicago to the presidency. In this sweeping history, Meagher reveals how the Irish American identity was forged, how it has transformed, and how it has held lasting influence on American culture.
