History

I’m looking for first-person accounts of life during the 1st Industrial Revolution in Europe and then the United States.

The ideal writer is capturing their experience close to real time, and is educated in business and economics.

Either unpolished manuscripts or edited books are fine.

Even better if not digitized.

Any recommendations?

The Jungle came about after Upton Sinclair spent time in some meat packing plants in Chicago around then. 

Not first person, but potentially directionally useful.
