Albion in the Twentieth Century
Author: Frank Passic
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738519814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
The Albion Malleable Iron Company was the major influence in bringing hundreds of workers from eastern and southern Europe, and from southern U.S. states to Albion, Michigan, in the early 20th century. These workers established their families and lived their lives in this industrial town, which grew to become a true "melting pot" of ethnic diversity in the 20th century. Albion in the 20th Century features more than 225 photographs from the personal collection of Albion historian Frank Passic, which chronologically show the changes in the community. The book focuses on everyday workers (including union officials and factory workers) and ball teams-plus "famous" people such as wildlife artist Lynn Bogue Hunt and writer-photographer Gwen Dew. Notable events chronicled include the capture of the Purple Gang car, the 1994 NCAA Division III Albion College Britons national football championship, and the Cardboard Classic sled race.

Publisher: Wayne State University Press
ISBN: 9780814326725
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 618
Book Description
These Men Have Seen Hard Service recounts the fascinating history of one outstanding Michigan regiment during the Civil War.
