Keeping people warm for four centuries, wool has been an essential
commodity from colonial times to the present. Wool's colorful and
surprisingly epic tale has impacted millions of lives, from
immigrants, slaves, and Native Americans, to farmers and
advertisers. Author Hart reveals little-known but fascinating facts
about US society-for example, how huge flocks of sheep were driven
to the California gold fields to feed hungry miners, and why sheep
grazed on the White House lawn during World War I. Moving from the
realms of handcrafted artisanry to industrialization and back, Wool
is a story of technological and social change, marketing forces,
and above all, consumer choices. A must-read for anyone who has
knitted socks, woven a tapestry, or curled up with a warm wool
blanket.
