The Belles of New Englandis a masterful, definitive, and eloquent look at the enormous cultural and economic impact of New Englands textile mills on America. The author, an award-winning CBS producer, traces the history of American textile manufacturing back to the ingenuity f Francis Cabot Lowell. The early mills were an experiment in benevolent, enlightened social responsibility on the part of the wealthy owners, who belonged to many of Bostons finest families. But the fledgling industrys ever-increasing profits were inextricably bound to the issues of slavery, immigration, and workers rights.William Moran brings a newsmans eye for telling detail to this fascinating saga that is equally compelling when dealing with rags as well as riches. In part a microcosm of Americas social development during the period, The Belles of New England casts a new and finer light on this rich tapestry of vast wealth, greed, discrimination, and courage.
