| Annotation | A southern preacher becomes concerned with labor conditions, and, while most of the novel is about the problems, the last chapter (633-44) has him building a cotton mill owned by the workers and transforming the town into a eutopia with no child labor, a library and school, and every mill worker having a home. Since the author was an apologist for the South and blatantly racist, the good society only applied to white Americans. |
