Harriman was born of the dreams of prohibitionists who believed they could found a model city of industry where workers would be free from the corrupting influences of demon rum. In the beginning; Harriman appeared to be on the road to achieving this vision: in its first two years; the population exploded from only two farms in 1890 to a city of almost 4;000 by 1892. Settlers poured in from all over the eastern United States to purchase land and take part in the dream of the temperance city. Like most utopias; however; Harriman fell short of its founders� dreams. The Panic of 1893 drove many early backers into bankruptcy. Floods along the Emory River; including a particularly devastating one in 1929; damaged the city�s industrial base. Nevertheless; Harriman experienced growth during the 20th century; boasting two major hosiery mills; a bustling downtown; quality schools; and the natural beauty of Appalachia. Today; it remains a unique city of Southern hospitality and Victorian charm.

I think this publisher should put an age range in the description; because this book definitely isnt for adults. I think its more appropriate for very young children.Product reviews posted on help me tremendously in making my shopping decisions. I hope providing my reviews of the product experiences does the same for others. :)I am not afraid to leave negative feedback when warranted. At the same time; I always consider how the product is advertised; price range; and what itrsquo;s intended purposes are. I put thought into the ratings I give.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
