Description
In UP BEFORE DAYBREAK, acclaimed writer Deborah Hopkinson captures the voices of the forgotten men, women, and kids who worked within the cotton industry in The usa over the centuries. The voices of the slaves who toiled within the fields within the South, the poor sharecroppers who slightly were given by, and the ladies who gave their lives to the New England mills spring to life through oral histories, archival photos, and Hopkinson’s engaging narrative prose style. These stories are amazing and regularly heartbreaking, and they’re imbedded deep in our nation’s history.
