Mill
by David Macaulay
In Mill, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, David Macaulay
pays tribute to the historically important mills of 19th-century New England.
Using close-up pen-and-ink illustrations, Macaulay thoroughly explains
the Yankee ingenuity that went into the elaborate process of running machines
that were generated by the flow of water. In the case of this cotton mill
in the imaginary town of Wicksbridge, Macaulay also demonstrates how important
the mill was to a community's economic and social viability. In one scene,
he shows the men and women celebrating the framing of the mill with a festive,
barn-raising-style party. Macaulay tracks the mill's history, expertly
explaining how all its new fixtures and materials reflect the political
and industrial changes in the country. For example, in 1852 the owner sides
with his abolitionist wife and shuns the use of "Negro cloth," inexpensive
cloth made from slave-picked cotton. Instead he decides to start producing
multi-colored, finer fabrics--a decision that leads to the expansion of
the mill and the introduction of the steam engine. This is a finely woven
offering, filled with technical intricacies and intriguing historical details.
But ultimately, Macaulay's Mill is generated by the human story that led
to the building of New England's cotton mills--as well as their eventual
demise. (Ages 9 and older) --Gail Hudson - Amazon.com
