Download or read book Alamance written by Bess Beatty and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837, Edwin M. Holt -- a thirty-year-old, fourth-generation North Carolinian -- established a small spinning mill on his family's land along the Haw River in rural Orange County. By his death in 1884, Holt's small spinning mill had come to dominate the textile industry in Alamance County -- which divided from Orange County in 1849 -- and gave the area an industrial legacy that would last for generations. Covering the Holt dynasty from the founding of the Alamance Factory in 1837 to the strike of 1900 that eventually shut down most of the family's mills, Alamance provides an excellent social history of southern industrial development. Bess Beatty intersperses chapters on the rise of the Holts with profiles on their workers to provide a thorough explanation of how industrialization affected sectional, familial, racial, and gender relations across class lines. Focusing on class formation and conflict, she rejects the long-held view that southern owners were paternalistic and that workers were docile and deferential, instead arguing that owners and workers had a contentious class-driven relationship, with both sides striving to maximize their economic success. Moreover, while Beatty shows that slavery, secession, war, defeat, and postbellum race relations influenced the development of southern industry, she maintains that industrialization in the South was not fundamentally different from that in other regions of the country. Alamance's story of southern industrial power makes an outstanding contribution to the history of southern communities and will fascinate those interested in the region, as well as students of social, business, and labor history.
Book Synopsis Shuttle & Plow by : Carole Watterson Troxler
Download or read book Shuttle & Plow written by Carole Watterson Troxler and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively two-part narrative, Carole W. Troxler and William M. Vincent place the legacy of Alamance County solidly in the context of regional and national history. Using a broad social scope and the conventional break at 1865, they connect themes and stories across that artificial line. The resulting threads link pre-Civil War divisions with the post-Emancipation violence that made the area the storm center of the state in the 1870s. Thereafter, recovery and renewal depended on leadership, education, and especially labor -- the constant back-and-forth motion of the shuttle across the loom and its parallel, the plow along the furrow.Shuttle & Plow spans more than three centuries, twice the age of the county carved from western Orange County in 1849. The greater Alamance story includes cultural changes over time, including religious dynamics that came to distinguish much of Southern life. Economic currents begin with deerskin trade and the impact that Native American trading paths had on where new arrivals settled. Methods of farming and home manufacturing are explored, along with the functions of crossroads trading and manufacturing centers before the coming of the railroad. After the Civil War, transitions to wage labor and commercial farming reinforced the rise and domination of textiles. Refinements and adjustments in the textile industry and farming are a major twentieth century theme, along with increasing economic diversity. Changes in labor relations and race relations are important features of the county's social heritage.Shuttle & Plow reveals previously untold stories, many in the words of their actors. Its research grasped longstanding thorns, such as the controversial reputation of a Quaker abolitionist/slave owner and the identity of Wyatt Outlaw. Since the book's 1999 publication, its depth and documentation are encouraging learners and established scholars alike to research further into this microcosm of the American South that is Alamance County. North Carolina Libraries calls the book ?a scholars dream . . . and one of the finest county histories in the nation. . . . Shuttle & Plow sets the standard.' The Alamance County Historical Association is pleased to reissue it for a broader market.

Download or read book I Am Malala written by Malala Yousafzai and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman "I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
