GLASS
What we now about they?
GLASS
Early American glass. The first factory in what is now the
United States was a glass plant built at Jamestown,
Virginia, in 1608. The venture failed within a year
because of a famine that took the lives of many colonists.
The Jamestown colonists tried glassmaking again in
1621, but an Indian attack in 1622 and the scarcity of
workers ended this attempt in 1624. The industry was
reestablished in America in 1739, when Caspar Wistar
built a glassmaking plant in what is now Salem County,
New Jersey. This plant operated until 1780.
