Summary: "The Ways of a Worker of a Century Ago" by Fred A. Gannon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed look into the life and times of Joseph Lye, a shoemaker from Lynn, Massachusetts, through the lens of his personal diary. It offers insights into the daily experiences, thoughts, and labor of a working man in the early 1800s, during a period when manual craftsmanship was prevalent and industrialization was just beginning to emerge. The content of the book is primarily derived from Joseph Lye's diary, which documents his multifaceted life as a shoemaker, farmer, and engaged citizen. Lye's entries reflect his diverse activities, ranging from shoemaking and fishing to participating in his community and attending church. He recorded his daily tasks, earnings, and reflections on his spiritual life, providing readers with a rich narrative that contrasts the simplicity and earnestness of his time with the complexities of modern life. Overall, the book serves as a window to the past, highlighting the industriousness and neighborly spirit of early 19th-century America through the eyes of an ordinary yet remarkable worker.
