About This Item
Nashfield New York: Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1979. First American Edition . Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book is very good plus Dustwrapper has small tears chipping and rubbing to ends, Once, sitting on the moor above the Lancashire village of Helmshore, George Cregg had a vision. Black times he saw were coming for the weavers; in the green valley below, chimneys would rise up, gushing out smoke and spelling death to the age-old practice of working the looms by hand. All his life Cregg had believed in human rights , so when the weavers of the north decided to march to Peterloo on August 16th 1819, to protest against the threat of machines, he had to go with them. His son Daniel, almost 16 and apprenticed to a harsh local mill owner, caught between the old ways and the new, went with him. This is the author's first book and in it he reveals a compassion and insight not only into the men of 19th century Lancashire but into men standing up for their rights and beliefs in all societies at all times.
