A article on the history of the Iron Mills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Being a local history buff, I always found the "Dartmouth history" articles in the old issues of The Chronicle from the 1960s and early 1970s to be especially interesting. In a December 1966 issue was one of those history pieces, usually written by unnamed members of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society, which focused on the early mills of that portion of "Old Dartmouth" lying within the current boundaries of the town.

The piece begins with the definitive statement that at one time or another, there were 99 working mills in Dartmouth. Eleven of those were windmills, the article says, inferring that the other 88 were water-powered mills. Right off the bat, the authors make it a point to mention that the "legend" of the first mill in town being an iron mill established by early landowner Ralph Russell at Russells Mills in 1652 is "erroneous" though it has been often repeated through the years.

For the record, the historians wrote, the first mill in town can be traced back to the year 1664, when the town contracted with Henry Tucker and George Babcock to build a grist mill in present-day North Dartmouth, near the intersection of State and Faunce Corner roads. It is considered the first official action of the newly incorporated town.

The historical record does not mention the date that construction was completed and the mill opened for business. If built and operating before 1675, the mill would certainly have been torched in the summer of 1675, when King Philip's War started and virtually every building in the five towns that made up Old Dartmouth in those days was burned by Wampanoag warriors. The next reference in surviving Dartmouth records is that town meeting notices were still to be posted "at the mill" in 1681, so the building and millworks either survived the war or were reconstructed shortly after hostilities ended.

The article notes that George Babcock's son Return obtained a mortgage on the property in 1702, with the debt agreement mentioning that the site included "an old grist mill and a fulling mill." A grist mill was designed to grind corn and other cereals into flour, while a fulling mill was used to fluff up wool fibers before spinning them into yarn.

The millworks property was purchased by Elisha Smith in 1706, and he added a sawmill at the site. Shortly afterwards, the growing neighborhood, one of the first densely settled parts of Dartmouth, began being referred to as Smith Mills. Over the years, the area became one of the first commercial centers of the town, being the site of a number of businesses and the first "Town House" (circa 1714) where townspeople would gather to hold town meetings and conduct other government business.

Benjamin Cummings acquired the property some years later, adding the big granite grist mill that is often pictured in old photographs of Smith Mills. The stone building, later owned by the Hawes family, remained standing into the middle of the 20th century. Today, where the Paskamansett River crosses State Road is a pocket park marking the town's earliest water-powered mill site.

Less is revealed in the article about the specifics of other old mills in town. It is noted that Padanaram had its own grist mill - but it was powered by wind, not moving water as was usually the case. David Thatcher built another mill near the corner of Middle and School streets around 1800. Captain Isaac Whelden and Isaac Smaller later owned it, the article said.

Many other mills were located in Russells Mills, where the Paskamansett River and Destruction Brook provided water power for early industry. Fulling mills, shingle mills, grist mills, and sawmills were often seasonal affairs on small swift streams, running regularly during the spring thaws and stopping operations during drier summer months.

The article mentions a rare "iron mill" once located at a place called Deep Brook, feeding into the Acushnet River (probably in Acushnet) where iron ore was dug from the ponds in the cedar swamp that fed the brook. The brook was later called Turner's Brook, after one of the partners who operated it, Christopher Turner.

Hixville and Gidleytown also had a few mills at various times, the history piece mentions, without providing any details. At that point, the article abruptly ends, apparently having exhausted the knowledge of the principal author.

I can't neglect to mention the Allen's Mill restoration project on Slade's Corner Road, undertaken by Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust and resulting in an authentic reconstruction of a mill dating back to 1711 or earlier. Mill operations continued there until the 1950s, making it one of the oldest mill sites in the area. Since 2003, Allen's Mill Inc. has overseen the reconstruction of the mill building, development of a parking area and extensive historical research on the site.

Of course, no story about local mills would be complete without a mention of Gray's Grist Mill, one of the oldest, continually running grist mills in New England, still located on a millpond on Adamsville Road in Westport, right on the Rhode Island line. Founded by early settler Philip Taber, the mill has been grinding corn since around 1700.

For those who would like to learn more about the topic, browse through "Old Dartmouth Historical Society Sketch 41," published in 1915. In that issue, local historian Henry B. Worth wrote about "The Mills of New Bedford and Vicinity Before the Introduction of Steam" and mentions many of the older mill sites in the area. The sketches are available online at whalingmuseum.org.

Dartmouth Historical & Arts Society President Robert Harding talked quite a bit about the Cummings family's mill operations at Smith Mills in his recent lecture on that neighborhood. That illustrated talk is available on the Dartmouth Community Television website's list of on-demand programs.

A current article based on Davis and her story Life in the Iron Mills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How do we record the voices of those who are silenced? We might do well to remember one of the first American realist writers. Rebecca Harding Davis is not much read these days, but in 1861 the Atlantic Monthly published her novella " Life in the Iron Mills" to great acclaim, jumpstarting an interesting career.

Davis grew up in the factory town of Wheeling, West Virginia (then Virginia) and knew firsthand the "fog and mud and foul effluvia" of industrial life. The groundbreakingly realist "Life in the Iron Mills" describes the bleak lives of early nineteenth-century America's industrial workers, downtrodden immigrants, and urban poor. The story focuses on a Welsh worker who, after his back-breaking shifts at the iron mill, makes sculptures out of korl, a porous substance left over from the smelting process. He creates a startling figure called the "Korl Woman," whom he describes as hungry "for summat to make her live."

Rebecca Harding Davis, "a pioneer of American realism, endowed social advocacy for workers with a feminist perspective."

Davis's literary project was to agitate for social change by writing about the nineteenth century's marginalized groups. Jean Pfaelzer writes that Davis, as " a pioneer of American realism, endowed social advocacy for workers with a feminist perspective." Indeed, Davis's stories, essays, and editorial work revealed a lifelong focus on figures like the Korl Woman, creating vivid portraits of "freed slaves, unmarried women, unpublished authors, Jersey Coast fishermen, North Carolina mountain women and urban mulattos who find their voice." As Michele Mock puts it, "to counter dominant discourse is to disrupt power relations, introduce possibilities, and quite possibly, enact social transformation." Just telling stories the way Davis did can be revolutionary.

Davis suspected that the exploitation of the poor depended upon "an eradication of their histories," and therefore worked to help create a counter-narrative that included these silenced voices. She didn't limit her energies to the poor and working class, either-she was among the first of American writers to confront racial prejudice and the Civil War in her fiction, as in her 1862 story "David Gaunt."

In the 1860s, enjoying her sudden celebrity, Davis hobnobbed a bit with the Boston literary scene-James T. and Annie Fields, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, et al-and married one of her fans, a young, poor attorney. She soon found herself the mother of three, working to support her family by publishing mysteries, thrillers and " stories about talented women who surrender their artistic ambitions to preserve their marriages." (Ahem!)

Another critic has pointed out that throughout the years, Davis's "plots became more slick and melodramatic and her style more sprightly as her matter became less consequential." It would seem that her own, socially-active voice was suppressed as she gave in to pressure from editors who wanted her work to be "less gloomy," the nineteenth century literary world's version of Smile once in a while, sweetheart!

Thankfully, Davis's work enjoyed a renaissance about a hundred years later, when feminist writer Tillie Olsen found a collection of her work in a junk shop. In 1972, The Feminist Press republished Life in the Iron Mills. As Olsen writes: "Without precedent or predecessor, it recorded what no one else recorded."

" ...drags itself sluggishly along, tired..." This part of the story it is giving personification to the river. It describes how the river is always moving and is supporting the weight of boats and cool barges 24/7. By giving personification to the river makes it seem as if the river is like one of the workers in the iron mills. Always working and caring a big weight on its back.

When things didn't make sense

he asked God, why.

Then God himself showed up

better late than never.

In Job 1:9, hasatan asks God, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" If we understand the Epilog as God rewarding Job for his faithfulness, then hasatan was right. Job is paid handsomely for fearing God. I believe, however, that the point of the Epilog is that when Job saw God and got off the ash heap, he went back to living. The message of the book of Job is that to be encountered by God is to be empowered to go forward with life.

They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stood still and said, "Call him here." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; get up, he is calling you." So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher, let me see again." Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
