the industrial era

In the last half of the 19th century there were striking changes in American life resulting from the rapid growth of industry. Railroads and factories multiplied over the country. A talent for invention, rich natural resources, and a large supply of workers constantly increased by immigration—all contributed. The new factory can turn out In 1848, there cloth faster and cheaper than were hard times mine. There is no more work in Dunfermline, for me! Scotland, where Andrew Carnegie lived with his parents.

A letter came from Andrew’s aunts and uncle who had gone to America.

They write that things are much better there. I think we should go too.

Yes, I want to go where Andrew and Tom will have a better chance than here.

They auctioned their furniture to get money for their passage.

And what am I bid for this fine loom?

Nobody needs hand looms anymore!

I’ll take it, Ellie. And someday we’ll send it back to you!

Stow your gear in the hold below, where the bunks are.

We sleep here. I wonder where we cook?

Thank you.

On deck, I think. I saw a little stove.

In the seven-week voyage, the Wiscasset became home. Andrew made friends with the sailors.

The Wiscasset’s a fine ship. Built in the state of Maine as a whaling vessel.

Do you still catch whales?
