Overview

It's been a century and a half since the country was rocked with the news that a "monster mill" in Lawrence, Massachusetts, collapsed while hundreds of employees were at work. The Pemberton Mill in 1860 was like others - huge, productive, but not safe for employees. The Pemberton Casualties tells the stories of the 1,003 men, women, and children - oh, so many children! - who were to suffer and die in this disaster. On these pages, the reader will find the names of every one of the thousand. Charts show ages, addresses, and even their final month's wages. Genealogists will find this a gold mine awaiting their searching.
