Surrounded by wetlands and the Charles River, Millis' good soil and plentiful water set the stage for farm development in the early 18th century. The population of Millis remained primarily a community of scattered farms, while industry consisted of small mills and the Holbrook Bell Foundry and Pipe Organ Factory. In 1880, Lansing Millis purchased Oak Grove Farm and turned it into a commercial enterprise consisting of dairy farms and stores with outlets in Boston. Four years later, Lansing Millis, Henry LaCroix, and Henry Millis founded the Clicquot Club Ginger Ale and Extracts Company; Herman Shoe Company and Metal Edge Factory were established soon after. Each of these companies took advantage of the area's ample sources of water and built on sites next to the newly established railroad for easier shipping. A thriving hotel business, referred to as the "Borscht Circuit," was established in 1898 and remained in business until World War II. The hotels and industries are now gone, but it is evident in the collection of vintage images in Millis that the community has retained its small-town character and bucolic settings.Binding Type: Paperback

A side to Civil Rights
Format: Paperback
A Civil Rights victory through purely peaceful means never seemed completely likely to me and this book is certainly an eye opener and contains information that every US History and US Government teacher should know.
Rights are not preserved unless men are willing to stand up to those who seek to oppress. In this case, many black men in the heart of Dixie finally, and near spontaneously banded together and stopped the KKK and forced the local and state governments to finally acknowledge that the natural born rights that John Locke wrote of in the Second Treatise of Government and that the Founders and Framers of our country adopted applied to all men, regardless of race.
