During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Keyport neighborhoods of Browns Point, Lockport, and Mechanicsville had distinct commercial and industrial districts that have all but disappeared today. Timothy E. Regan's new book on Keyport offers a glimpse into the lives of these early businesses and the citizens who created them, along with a look at the remarkable architecture of this bayside town. This fascinating overview of life in Keyport from 1860 through the 1970s also includes an in-depth look at the men and machines of the Keyport Fire Department, one of the oldest and proudest fire departments in New Jersey. Dedicated civil servants like the firemen have worked together with skilled tradespeople and entrepreneurs over the years to make Keyport a wonderfully dynamic and vibrant place to live, and Mr. Regan's book honors the commitment and the memory of these people.

As a working cotton mill, a space for varied types of manufacturing, and eventually as a project of historical preservation, the Slater Mill has played many roles in the history of Pawtucket. Leavitt's work includes such illuminating images as a turn-of-the-century bicycle shop, a crowded mill scene in the early twentieth century, and the transformation of the site into a tourist attraction in the 1920s. This volume also shows how the site was re-configured as a community museum in the 1950s and '60s, as well as how the industrial emphasis of the curators eventually resulted in the addition of a working water wheel to the site. Well-illustrated, with fact-filled text, Slater Mill is a charming look back at a pivotal part of Pawtucket life that will interest young and old alike.
