From the back cover: "Like a Family" is a vivid new history of the making of a southern cotton mill world. The authors reconstruct family, work, and community life in the early mills, then trace the technological and cultural changes that transformed the textile industry after World War I. Drawing on three unique sources -- an extraordinary series of interviews conducted by the Southern Oral History Program, previously unexamined letters written by workers to Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression, and the trade press -- the authors capture one of the great dramas of the modern South, in all its historical contingency and human detail.
