The Case of the Cabot Mill
SECTION TWO - The other side of the cotton
From: A Distinct Alien Race
$2.40
The Cabot Company continued to house most of the rapidly growing Franco-American population throughout the 19th century; in this chapter, the author explores the history of this company and the experiences and struggles of its largely Franco-American workers. Many of these workers lived stiflingly overcrowded housing, with inadequate sewerage facilities, poisoned water, and high child mortality.
