Fifty years with the Revere Copper Co. A Paper Read at the Stockholders' Meeting held on Monday 24 March 1890

Fifty Years with the Revere Copper Co., by S. T. Snow, delivers a vivid, firsthand chronicle of a half-century at the heart of American copper manufacturing. Written as a paper presented to stockholders in 1890 by the company's treasurer, Snow traces his personal arrival in 1840, the firm's early days, changing offices, and the events that shaped its operations through the 19th century. Part corporate memoir, part industrial history, the narrative explores themes of continuity, stewardship, and technological change. Snow documents boardroom personalities, workforce continuity, the practical science behind copper production, and moments of crisis—such as the great Boston conflagration that forced relocations—while situating the Revere Copper Co. within the broader sweep of American manufacturing and scientific advancement. His close-up perspective provides rare insight into how a single firm navigated markets, innovation, and family ties over decades. Ideal for listeners interested in business history, industrial archaeology, the history of science and technology, or Boston's manufacturing past, this audiobook offers a compact, authoritative primary account for scholars and curious general readers alike.
