The First Full-Length Account of the advent of the cotton-textile
industry in the region, The Rise of Cotton Mills in the South
immediately defined industrialization in the rural South upon its
publication in 1921. Its influence was widely felt by southern
intellectuals and shaped the interpretation of southern
industrialization in many ways.
Broadus Mitchell's idealistic chronicle of the southern textile
industry founders reads as a progressive's endorsement of a
southern industrial "revolution from above", to elevate the South
from its economic and cultural doldrums. Mitchell viewed
industrialization as necessary for southern progress and believed
that its benefits to the South ultimately reached far beyond its
profits to mill owners. In a lengthy introduction, David L. Carlton
further explores the life and economic philosophies of Mitchell --
giving a sturdy framework to this history and reinforcing it as a
valuable assessment of a historical moment.
