Biography of an individual and American manufacturing roots: In 1789, a young man with a photographic memory of machinery detail for cotton spinning, arrived in New York from England. Protective of its new manufacturing methods by machine, England prohibited the export of machines and the emigration of its mechanics and manufacturers. Young Samuel Slater had been an apprentice in England's town of Belper, and had learned much about the innovative Arkwright machinery. Put in touch with Moses Brown of Providence RI, Samuel went to work in building an Arkwright. MIT researcher and engineer E H Cameron here offers Samuel's story, from his boyhood in England to his eventual leadership in the American cotton industry. The American Saga Series (from back jacket) offers the "revelation of American enterprise as a dynamic factor in 'the American way of life' and as a contribution to the political, economic and cultural health of the world. It serves as a corrective to loose economic and social propaganda and teaching, at both high school and college levels, as well as among general readers."

Sobre Hedgehog's Whimsey Books
Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
