About this book
In the early 20th century, industrialization transformed communities, often at the expense of child laborers. "Through the Mill: The Life of a Mill-Boy" by Al Priddy offers a poignant autobiographical glimpse into this world, where young boys toiled in factories under grueling conditions. Priddy vividly recounts the struggles of poverty and the relentless demands of mill work, illuminating the stark realities faced by many families. This compelling narrative not only sheds light on the personal toll of industrial labor but also serves as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work is an essential exploration of labor history and childhood experiences during a pivotal era of change.
