1. info.nhpr.org - The Amoskeag Mills. Whether you're inside Manchester, or simply passing by along I-293, it is impossible not to notice the great mill buildings. Even today, when more than 40% of them have disappeared, they dominate the cityscape as few complexes do in the old northeastern industrial towns. The impact of the Amoskeag mills on the lives and fortunes of the people has been central to Manchester's story for well over 150 years.

history is too often told in one of two equally unsatisfactory ways—in the icy language of economics, or in the fiery rhetoric of ideologues. Either way, the real people get overlooked. The story of the mighty Amoskeag textile mills at Manchester, New Hampshire, for example, is most often seen simply as a textbook case of industrial paternalism trying to outlive its time.
