Book excerpt: Every Day But Sunday: The Romantic Age of New England Industry is the story of America when rugged individualism was in full swing. the nineteenth-century industrialist, whether he made soap, tacks, or plows, stamped his peronality upon the small organization he controlled. Therefore the story of this romantic age of industry is a story of individuals -- of men who were rugged, shrewd, and daring. The author has taken a typical New England town -- Mansfield, Massachusetts -- from the beginning to the close of the 19th century and conujures up for us the ramshackle factories, the honest products, and the shrewd proprietors.
