NEW AMSTERDAM BOOK AVAILABLE MID MARCH 2010
AMSTERDAM: A POSTCARD HISTORY by Gerald Snyder and Robert von Hesseln uses vintage post cards to tell the story of how a small Upstate New York trading village of the 1700s parlayed its position astride critical waterways during the westward expansion of the early 1800s to become an industrial powerhouse: America’s foremost rug-making center, the “Carpet City”, seventh largest city in the most populous state in the Union and “Gateway to the Mohawk Valley”. How turnpikes, canals, and railroads rapidly changed an isolated rustic settlement of cheap land and abundant waterpower into an urban manufacturing center, doing business worldwide. How successive waves of Dutch, German, Yankee, Irish, Italian, East European, and other immigrants were drawn to it, some to become millionaires, some millworkers; all to leave their own mark on this “City on a Hill.” And what became of that city when the mills closed. This is the story of an American Dream created, lost, and still pursued on what was once the American frontier.

A Word About ConditionWe sell used books and remainders on thebookhound.net. All of our remaindered books are unused, therefore none will have underlining or worn bindings or library discard markings. However, some will have a little shelf wear or some small flaw that you may hardly notice. Some will have a remainder mark. Remainder marks are not always noted. Overall, all our books are in very good condition, with most being in fine or as new condition.
We attempt to accurately describe the condition of our used books. Our used books range in condition from good to fine. Please read the descriptions of our used books carefully before ordering, so you won't be disappointed. >
