Rosemary (the car) and I are on the road again. We took off at 4 am for Newport News and AirTran to Boston. When I arrived in Boston (no problems...no delay...thank goodness), I met up with Krista from NY. We rode in the shuttle van to Lowell. Lowell is about an hour from Boston.
Here is my roommate, Laura from New Hampshire and me in the elevator at the Boott Cotton Mill.
When we arrived at the mill this evening, we met an girl packing to go work in the Lowell mills.
We also did a little weaving by hand. Lyddie and the girls would be using a machine. We will see them later. This was fun to do, but wouldn't be much fun if all of your clothing had to be made like this. It took me five minutes just to get this much done.
More later.
If you have read the book LYDDIE by Katherine Patterson, you know that Lyddie worked in the mills in Lowell. Wakeup, meals, work, and bed were all determined by the clock. Here is the clock at the Boott Cotton Mill.
