Book Synopsis Industrial Pioneers by : Patrick Brown
Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, Scranton served as the face of a rising America and a hub of technology and innovation'¿¿between 1840 and 1902, the city of Scranton changed from a lazy backwoods community to a modern industrial society with 100,000 residents. During this time, Scranton'¿¿s citizens desperately tried to adapt their thinking to keep up with the rapid changes around them, and in the process forged the world views that would define the twentieth century.
