Verlorene Mühlen von Fulton County (verloren) von Lisa M. Russell [Taschenbuch]
Labor conflicts, arrests, espionage--it was all there at the once-ubiquitous mills of Fulton County, where hardworking people scratched out an unsteady living on the back of king cotton. Very little remains of these mills, but Atlanta's Cabbagetown and Whittier Mill Village have discovered new, vibrant purpose. During the heyday of mill life, though, impetuous mill bosses wielded ruthless control over workers' lives. The mills sustained blue-collar families, but industrial exploitation would snatch it away in an instant. Workers who didn't toe the line were made to suffer, strikes were put down and payday envelopes weren't guaranteed to contain a dime. Author Lisa M. Russell unearths the stories of work and struggle from the lost mills of Fulton County.
