Author Description

Excerpt from A Descriptive Poem of the Calamity at Lawrence, January 10, 1860: Also, Lines to the Memory of John Brown <p>In Lawrence City, built in modern style, There stood a cotton mill, a mammoth pile, Five stories high, both broad and long Although of brick and iron, yet not strong. <p>Filled with machinery of curious art and skill, With men and maidens plenty each post to fill All brisk and lively, some full of glee. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
