What Kinds of Jobs Did American Men Do in the 1800s? How Did Those Jobs Change? How Did They Stay the Same?
Historians have noted that Napoleon Bonaparte at the start of the 1800s could not travel from Paris to Rome any faster than Julius Caesar could have 1800 years before. Although the energy of wind and water had been harnessed somewhat, most work was still done by "muscle power," by humans or by animals. During the 19th century, all that was to change in ways that no human could have imagined!
Among the 20 jobs included in this pocket-sized history book...
- AGRICULTURE and FOOD The Farmer, The Fisherman
- COMMUNICATIONS The Printer, The Telegrapher
- CONSTRUCTION The Carpenter, The Cooper
- LEATHER GOODS The Cobbler, TheSaddler
- METALS The Miner, The Smiths
- TRANSPORTATION The Teamster, The Wheelwright
This book gets straight to work to show the sweeping changes that the 1800s brought to each of these All-American occupations. Plus, there are internet sources cited for each job to help you get started on your own work of research for depth and details.
