Book Synopsis Preston Cotton Martyrs by : J. S. Leigh
Book excerpt: Preston was no ordinary town during the nineteenth century. While king cotton reigned supreme throughout Lancashire, the underlying ills associated with this industry were very often highlighted particularly starkly there. This book presents an indictment of the industrial system that caused such suffering to Preston's cotton 'martyrs'.
