Benjamin Franklin got his start in life as an apprentice, as did Mark Twain, Horace Greeley, William Dean Howells, William Lloyd Garrison, and many other famous Americans. But the Industrial Revolution brought with it radical changes in the lives of\n\u003cbr\u003ecraft apprentices.  In this book, W. J. Rorabaugh has woven an intriguing collection of case histories, gleaned from numerous letters, diaries, and memoirs, into a narrative that examines the varied\n\u003cbr\u003eexperiences of individual apprentices and documents the massive changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156691022062,"sku":"9780195051896","price":163.21,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/craft-apprentice-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
