After\u003cbr\u003e reconstructing the gradual process of community-building, Knowles\u003cbr\u003e focuses on the pivotal moment when the immigrants became involved with\u003cbr\u003e the industrialization of their new region as workers and investors in\u003cbr\u003e Welsh-owned charcoal iron companies. Setting the southern Ohio Welsh in\u003cbr\u003e the context of Welsh immigration as a whole from 1795 to 1850, Knowles\u003cbr\u003e explores how these strict Calvinists responded to the moral dilemmas\u003cbr\u003e posed by leaving their native land and experiencing economic success in\u003cbr\u003e the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Knowles draws on a wide variety of sources, including obituaries and\u003cbr\u003e community histories, to reconstruct the personal histories of over 1,700\u003cbr\u003e immigrants.
