A Canadian in Lowell: Labour, Manhood and Independence in the Early Industrial Era, 1840-1849
Abstract
The article provides background and publishes a selection of Daniel Spencer Gilman's letters to family members written from the mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts to family members in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada between 1840 and 1849. The letters provide insight into the meaning of class and gender in Lowell, where the workforce was mostly female. They also indicate that the migration from Lower Canada to the New England mills began earlier than previously suggested.
