An illustrated historical sketch of Lowell, Massachusetts, the 'Spindle City', from the 1884 Bay State Monthly. It traces the city from the Penacook Indians and early colonial settlement through the founding of the canals and the Merrimack, Appleton, Lowell, Boott and other cotton and woolen mill corporations, the railroads, and the city's civic growth. Later sections list mill treasurers, agents and products, churches and pastors, and closing statistics on spindles, looms, operatives and cloth output. Illustrated with views, church engravings and portraits of mill founders and civic figures.
