Life in the Iron Mills by Rebecca Harding Davis

5.0

“Is this the End?”...nothing beyond? no more?”

WOW.

Read this for a summer course I am teaching, and was very taken aback by the realism Davis depicted within this short story. This story is incredibly detailed and descriptive of how horror-filled life within the iron mills could become, and I thought it's dark nature was deeply profound.
