A Landscape Transformed: The Ironmaking District of Salisbury, ConnecticutOxford University Press, 2001 - 159 sider Where Salisbury ironmakers dug ore, flushed away mine waste, built furnaces, clear-cut forest, dammed rivers, and piled up slag for over a hundred years, a visitor today finds a landscape of wooded hillsides, neat villages, and valley farms. People in Salisbury made a gradual transition from extractive industry to residential services, keeping local control of their industrial enterprises while striving for economic diversity and independence. |
