188888405Fall River: Earl & Bamford / George E. Bamford 1888-1904. Six original biennial issues in original wrappers comprising the 11th 12th 14th 15th 16th and 20th editions. Issue for 1888 in glazed printed wrappers 13cm x 8.5cm; remaining issues in uncoated wrappers 14.5cm x 8cm; contents range from 56pp to 72pp. A few with slight discoloration and/or wear to wrappers but all complete sound and unmarked; Very Good overall. <br /> <br /> A collection of six successive issues of this biennial prospectus and directory for the mill city of Fall River Massachusetts intended to advertise the prospects for residency and industry in what was at the time the fastest-growing industrial city in New England known particularly for its output of printed cotton cloth. Each issue includes an updated list of operating textile mills together with a wealth of statistical data including annual yardage produced number of workers employed city population etc. Though clearly written from the manufacturers' perspective these small publications taken together provide valuable background for understanding the social milieu of a late-19th century mill town painting a clear picture of the city's rapid growth from 1.8 million spindles in 1888 to nearly 4 million in 1910 and the enormous wealth produced for mill owners during this period from $18M in capital stock to $34M in the same period - wealth that most certainly did not filter down to a workforce comprised mainly of immigrant millworkers many of whom were children under the age of twelve.

Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. First edition of this scarce speech delivered by J.H.D. Gray 1839-1902 who was the first Euro-American “White†male child born west of the Rocky Mountains after his pioneer father William Henry Gray 1810-1889 came West with Dr. Marcus Whitman in 1836. This speech was one of the earliest proposals to construct a “large iron gastron†dam immediately above the Dalles filled with heavy timbers to back up enough water so that the treacherous Celilo Falls could be deepened and enable continuous navigation on the Columbia River. Largely due to financing political will and the Herculean engineering obstacles this dream would not reach fruition until March 10 1957 when the floodgates of The Dalles Dam were opened 70 years later. J.H.D. Gray first began working for his brother-in-law Jacob Kamm’s Oregon Steam & Navigation Co. in 1858 and ran sternwheelers from Celilo Falls to Lewiston ID to the Owyhee Crossing and onto the Snake River. After losing his hand he began operating the sternwheeler U.S. Grant between Astoria and Ilwaco and in 1886 was elected to the Oregon State Senate. No copies in Worldcat. n.p.], paperback
