Bale O' Cotton The Mechanical Art of Cotton Ginning

"In this wonderfully comprehensive look at the history of the cotton industry, Addison writer Karen Britton has combined sound scholarship with folklore and legend to offer a poignant and accurate look at the history of the cotton industry. She concentrates on the entire national picture, particularly as it emerged in the fertile fields of the antebellum South and spread westward. . . . She shows how cotton was central to a way of life that has never completely faded from the Texas rural scene. . . . the perfect combination of scholarly study and entertaining reading matter."--Clay ReynoldsBritton, Karen G. is the author of 'Bale O' Cotton The Mechanical Art of Cotton Ginning' with ISBN 9780890965108 and ISBN 0890965102.
