This may be old news to you, but it is something I stumbled upon today. The complete text of Alice Brayton’s Life on the Stream is online for you to download to your computer!
Life on the Stream is an overview of Fall River, Massachusetts, in the nineteenth century. Volume One contains information on Holder Borden, Avery’s Knot; Olive Bowen Howland; the letter books of the Nail Factory, the Iron Works, and the Troy Mill; the payroll of the Anawan Mill; letters and excerpts from various diaries; and three sermons preached by the Rev. Orin Fowler. Volume Two provides information on the Great Fire, the Night Watch, the Fall River Railroad, the community’s militia, and further letters and diary extracts.
