Seeing Spartanburg: A History in Images | Spartanburg County In World War II | Greenville County, South Carolina | Like a Family
Over the course of nearly two centuries more than 100,000 people labored in the red brick cotton mills and modern textile factories of Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Textile Town is their story. One part historical narrative, one part scrapbook, one part encyclopedia, this illustrated volume presents the voices of scholars and blue-collar workers side by side in an exploration of this complex and compelling saga.
Working in libraries and mill villages, more than 40 writers and historiansâmany of them sons, daughters, and grandchildren of textile workersâcontributed to this engaging history. From the great migration from the mountains in the 1880s, to the labor conflict of the 1930s, to the wartime camaraderie of the 1940s and beyond, Textile Town tells a seminal Southern story, one that readers wonât soon forget.
