America transformed: engineering and technology in the nineteenth century

Abstract

From a fledgling agrarian nation clinging to the Atlantic seaboard in 1800, the United States by the 1900s was the world’s leading industrial nation, manufacturing a third of the world’s industrial output. Through nearly 200 photographs and drawings, \IAmerica Transformed: Engineering and Technology in the Nineteenth Century\N highlights not only the obvious icons of achievement, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Erie Canal, but also the development of the nation’s industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure. Development and innovation in mining; textile, iron and steel mills; water treatment, power and irrigation systems; canals; railroads; and bridges all served to transform American life.
