From its birth in 1826, Lowell has thrived, declined, and been resurrected as a mill city. Today, it is celebrated for its rich history. These postcards from the 1890s to the 1940s display the energy of this industrial city and its native and immigrant population as it grew, built, worked, and played. Vintage cards capture both familiar mills along the Merrimack River and vanished businesses. Coupled with compelling narrative, they tell stories of a horse-drawn fire engine, textile mill workers, grand civic buildings, floods, and even the aftermath of an explosion.

Lowell, a historic industrial city, owes its life to the broad Merrimack River. Renowned for its water-powered textile mills, it was also a city rich in natural beauty, where spiritual and cultural values took root. Postcards from the 1890s to the 1940s bear witness to riverscapes, varied waterways, arched bridges, and green parks. Vintage cards depict grand churches and stately mansions, some now altered or gone, and rare interior views. Informative text accompanies the images of yellowbricked colleges, pastoral neighboring environs, dignified cemeteries, and imposing monuments, such as the c

It would be hard to imagine parents more perfect than Claire and Theo. In the mid-1960’s, in a rambling apartment overlooking Central Park West, they raise their son Willy with enthusiasm, encouragement, and what might today be called unconditional love. It might also be called unconventional love, for both Claire and Theo are women. They are Willy’s mothers, and until a mistrustful outside world intrudes to try to tear them apart, they are the best family a boy could want. In an enchanting, moving debut, Jax Peters Lowell explores the powerful bonds of love and family, and create
