Millhands and Preachers: A Study of Gastonia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Millhands and Preachers: A Study of GastoniaIndividuals are represented as significant, however, only insofar as they represent institutions.The cast of characters is limited in other respects. Two insti tutions carry on a dialogue, rather than conduct a forum in which all aspects of community life may be represented. In more technical parlance, analysis in this volume is vertical rather than horizontal in scope; it probes into the roles of two institutions over a period of sixty years and explores the rela tions between them, rather than undertakes exposition Of all so cial phenomena in the locale. Politics, leisure activities, family relations, education - these and many other fellow townsme'n beckon frequently to the main characters, and occasionally it is necessary to pause for a brief word with them, but hurriedly, lest the thread of the ongoing conversation be lost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
