Creating the Modern South: Millhands and Mangers in Dalton, Georgia, 1884-1984 (Fred W Morrison Series in Southern Studies)

Rating:
Summary: rich and engaging book
Review: This book tells the story of Dalton, Georgia, and how the textile mill led to its development. It is a very detailed look at the townspeople and their struggles throughout a century. It provides a unique and perceptive view of the South's economic and social transformation beginning during the aftermath of the Civil War and continuing with the rise of technology into the Reagan years.
