Bookroo's summary
Step into the world of a 19th-century New England textile mill, where the hum of machinery and the rhythm of production tell a story of industrial ambition. Discover the intricate planning and operation that fueled the era's economic engine. What challenges and innovations await in this meticulously crafted historical journey?
From the publisher
The mills at Wicksbridge are imaginary, but their planning, construction, and operation are quite typical of mills developed in New England throughout the nineteenth century. “Well-researched, ambitious, and absorbing, this is another first-rate history lesson from a practiced, perfectionist hand.” – Booklist, starred review
