The Conquest of Labor offers the first biography of Daniel Pratt
(1799-1873), a New Hampshire native who became one of the South's
most important industrialists. After moving to Alabama in 1833,
Pratt started a cotton gin factory near Montgomery that by the eve
of the Civil War had become the largest in the world. Pratt became
a household name in cotton-growing states, and Prattville-the site
of his operations-one of the antebellum South's most celebrated
manufacturing towns. Based on a rich cache of personal and business
records, Curtis J. Evans's study of Daniel Pratt and his ""Yankee""
town in the heart of the Deep South challenges the conventional
portrayal of the South as a premodern region hostile to
industrialization and shows that, contrary to current popular
thought, the South was not so markedly different from the North.
