Description
In this book, acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson traces the history of the cotton industry in America through the centuries. Using oral histories, she captures the voices of the forgotten men, women, and children who worked in the cotton industry. Her compelling prose lends poignancy, humor, and sometimes sorrow to the narratives of the slaves who toiled in the fields in the South, the poor sharecroppers who barely got by, and the girls who gave their lives to the New England mills. - from Amzon
