Lost Mill Towns of North Georgia

By: Lisa M. Russell

The textile era was born of a perfect storm. When North Georgia's red clay failed farmers and prices fell during Reconstruction, opportunities arose. Beginning in the 1880s, textile industries moved south. Mill owners enticed an entire workforce to leave their farms and move their families into modern mill villages, encased communities with stores, theaters, baseball teams, bands and schools. To some workers, mill village life was idyllic. They had work, recreation, education, shopping and a home with the modern conveniences of running water and electricity. Most importantly, they got a paycheck. But after the New Deal, workers started to see the raw deal they were getting from mill owners and rebelled. Strikes and economic changes began to erode the era of mill villages, and by the 1960s, mill village life was all but gone. Author Lisa Russell brings these once-vibrant communities back to life.

Faribault Woolen Mill

Loomed in the Land of Lakes

By: Lisa M. Bolt Simons

Established in 1865 by Carl Klemer, the Faribault Woolen Mill is an authentic example of American craftsmanship. In 150 years of business, the company's success has relied on stewardship from the Klemer, Johnson and Mooty families, as well as veteran employees. Despite a devastating fire and even a closing, today it is the oldest manufacturer in Minnesota and one of the country's last mills producing textiles from raw wool. Its blankets provided warmth to hundreds of thousands of American troops in both world wars, and the mill continues that tradition of military support today. Discover the history and heritage woven into this iconic American brand revered around the world.

Warrensburg, Missouri

Warrensburg, Missouri

By: Lisa Irle

Warrensburg, Missouri, was destined to be more than a one-horse town. When Martin Warren set up his blacksmith shop in 1833, the farmers who gathered there to have their horses shod became the community's first citizens. The town was later named in honor of Warren. During the Civil War, Warrensburg hosted both Union and Confederate troops, who reportedly drilled on the same parade grounds. When the railroad reached Warrensburg on July 4, 1864, the frontier town began to thrive, eventually achieving success in agriculture and, since 1871, in higher education.Warrensburg, Missouri illustrates the history of the city in more than 200 vintage images, detailing the faces, places, and events that have colored the town. The "healing waters" of Pertle Springs drew visitors from all around, and in 1870, Warrensburg would be made famous by a trial concerning a slain hunting dog, Old Drum.
