Including 183 color and black-and-white images of vintage photos
and packaging, plus values for American firecracker collectibles,
this is the first book to focus on US firecrackers. Many pyrobilia
guides cover Chinese firecrackers, but the US's history is just as
colorful, from fireworks' inception into American celebrations as a
replacement for dangerous celebratory gun and cannon fire, until
the final federal ban with the Child Protection Act of 1966.
Fireworks made the 4th of July the best holiday ever, for
generations of boys especially. Beginning with a brief history of
the firecracker and how it came to America, the book details the
types the US produced-a wide array, from Cherry Bombs and Silver
Salutes to Ash Cans and Torpedoes. Also covered are how the US
Industrial Revolution impacted fireworks, as well as the
innovations throughout the American industry, from its successes to
the factory disasters.
