The Watch Factories of America Past and Present

This is a very detailed (over 100 pages) account of US watchmaking.  In some instances the author is writing a long time after the events he is describing and there are many articles written since that look to fill in some of the gaps and, in some cases, set the record straight.  Nevertheless a fascinating read.

 

Henry G. Abbott, 1888
