Offers a unique blend of fact and folklore about cotton ginning, the process that takes cotton from the field, separates fibres from seeds, and packages the lint into a bale for shipment to market. It traces the development of the industry, the equipment, and the techniques of this integral facet of American life from its English beginnings in 1793, through its heyday in the American South, to its present technological peak.
