First published in 1921, Mitchell's classic study of cotton mills remains an influential work in the historical literature of the 20th century South, writes David Carlton (history, Vanderbilt U.) in his extensive new introduction. Carlton provides details about the life and work of Mitchell, an economist and biographer of Alexander Hamilton who died in 1988 at age 95. The mill study was Mitchell's first, and arguably most important, scholarly effort. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
