Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Apparent First of this edition (NAP). The author did copyright the book in 1962, but there doesn't appear to have been a publication of the book until 1969. Professor Armstrong flat-signed and dated this book on the blank first front end paper. The date is ' May, 1970.' You can see the blue textured covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The white lettering on the spine is bright. The cover edges and corners look perfect. The spine ends are in excellent shape. The page edges are perfectly clean. The spine has a slight forward lean and the rear cover bows out a little bit, but the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. All the pages are nicely tight. The covers as well. The interior of the book is in terrific shape I've scrolled through the pages several times without finding any instances of soiling. There is one speck on the signed first front end paper. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. There are 40 illustrations. They are all in excellent condition. The dust jacket is in very solid shape. It is distinctive from some of the other ones I've seen listed for sale by virtue of the absence of loss, that's a strange phrase. There are a few tiny, inconspicuous, spots, also some crinkling along the sides of the spine. There are a couple of teeny tiny edge tears. The flaps are in excellent shape, very clean, no evident wear. The jacket is not priced or clipped. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. I took it off to better examine the jacket. I'll replace it with a new fitted protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'This is a detailed history of one instance of a vanishing phenomenon, the small new England textile town. Source material such as company records, public records, newspapers, personal interviews, and indeed the town itself, which survives very largely as it was a century ago, were examined with assiduous scholarship. The resulting history is colorful and lively, it's rich in detail making it good reading as well as careful history. Harrisville is located in the rugged highlands of southwestern New Hampshire. Although the original settlement of this area antedated the Revolution, it was early in the nineteenth century that Harrisville was brought into existence by the harnessing of an excellent fall of water for the manufacturer of woolen cloth. In one important respect, the history of this mill town has been atypical. It never became an industrial slum, a ghost town, or the fief of some outside industrial overlord. Today, the town's economy rests on its numerous summer residents and on the up-to-date woolen mill still owned and operated by the same family that came there in the 1850s to compete with the Harrises. The mill village is well acquainted with hard times, but it remains neat, harmonious, and businesslike, an unusual place where the historic past merges indefinably into the active present and where the faded bricks laid down a century and a half ago continue to serve a living community. In tracing the story of two centuries of New England life, Professor Armstrong provides us with a detailed description of not only the growth of the town and its mills but also of everyday life, disease and medical care, temperance and intemperance, modes of transportation, recreation, schools and churches, conflicts between mill owners, between farmers and mill population, between natives and immigrants, and through it all, the slow growth of a sense of community. Maps and photographs of the town, past and present, complement the text, and there are tables on wage rates, vital statistics, elections, population, town budgets, property valuations, and the schools. This very broad focus, together with scholarly treatment and careful organization of fact, will make this book a valuable addition to social history and a model for the writing of local history.'.
