In these real-life tales, Rick Bragg brilliantly evokes the hardscrabble lives of those who live and perish by an American natural cotton mill. In 2001, a community of folks in the Appalachian foothills acquired come to the border of all they had ever been. Over the South, padlocks and chains bound the doors of silent mills. It felt a miracle to blue-collar people in Jacksonville, Alabama, that their mill still bit, shook, and roared. The mill acquired become almost a living thing, fulfilling the hard working and careful with the best short term they ever endured but punishing the careless and clumsy, going for a finger, a hand, or more. They offered it even while it filled up their lungs with lint and shortened their lives. In return, it let them stay in stiff-necked dignity in the hills of their fathers. This is a mill report, not of bricks, metal, and natural cotton, but of the folks who endured it to be able to live.
