Lawrence, Massachusetts: Volume II (Images of America)

In 1847, following much objection and lawlessness, the
pioneer townsfolk of Lawrence were finally recognized
in a charter signed by the governor of the Commonwealth.
Known alternately as â€œThe Immigrant City,â€ â€œThe
Friendly City,â€ and â€œThe Woolen Worsted Capital of the
World,â€ the city of Lawrence would thereafter become
a crowded urban laboratory whose experiments were
recorded around the globe.
Issued during the sesquicentennial year of the townâ€™s
incorporation, this sequel volume revisits in greater detail
the work and the leisure of the people of Lawrence from
the advent of photography through the 1950s. The bookâ€™s
focus on the everyday life of the common man reveals
some lesser-known occupationsâ€•such as cigar maker and
horse undertakerâ€•as well as a heartiness and spirit unique
to this diverse population. In addition, the book records
the history of the busiest and best-known thoroughfares
ever traveled in Lawrence, and concludes with a look at
city landmarks that have been destroyed over the years.
