Dallas Mills, Dallas Village, & Dallas People

📖 The Scoop

Dallas Mills, Dallas Village, & Dallas People is the true story of Dallas Mills from when it was only a dream back in the 1880s through its fiery end in the 1990s. It is the story of Dallas Village, and of "The Queen City of the South," Huntsville, Alabama. And it is a tribute to the more than 12,000 Dallas People listed in this book. This is Book 1 in a series of five books about the textile mills of Huntsville, Alabama. We have written it to answer the questions about the origin of the company, its development, and explosive growth and influence in Huntsville and Madison County, along with its unexpected labor and union problems and abrupt closure. To give long due credit to those who built and worked in the mill; those who made it what it was and helped transform "The Queen City of the South," Huntsville, into the city it is today, we have included the names of all the Dallas People we could discover. What we have written has been verified through multiple sources; however, our accuracy is directly dependent on the truthfulness of the sources that provided information over the past 130 years.
