The story of Emmeline Mosher, who, before her 14th birthday, was sent from her home on a farm in Maine to support her family by working in a cotton mill in Massachusetts. The year was 1839.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • A book well-worth reading

    Read this book in paper back several times over the years and wanted to replace it as it was falling apart. The story follows the fate of a young girl sent to work in the mills in & around Lynn, Massachusetts. It depicts an aspect of the industrial workplace and the harsh working conditions of mill workers that few have knowledge of today. When traveling in Massachusetts some years ago, we made it a point to take a side trip to visit some mill towns and tour one of the restored demonstrator mills. It really brought the book’s story to life.

  • Great!

    I live in the same town that Emmeline grew up in, so was pretty cool to read about her. Sad though. She had a rough life!
