Title: Cinderella of the new South
First published: 1995
Description: For decades after the Civil War, the cottonseed industry played a critical role in the economy of the American South - an importance that previous historical accounts of the region have barely acknowledged. In Cinderella of the New South, Lynette Boney Wrenn fills a major gap in scholarship by tracing the story of the cottonseed industry from its antebellum origins through its transformation during the first half of the twentieth century.
