right up to the day everyone was laid off and mills closed.
In early 1980's
The great Rick Bragg's recent book "The Most They Ever Had" is the most haunting, moving, empathetic
description of the destruction of textile mills I have ever read. It left me shaken and enraged.
I strongly recommend reading it. ( Anything by Rick Bragg is worth the investment-I keep every one of his books).
