Linthead was never a term of endearment, but some people whose lives & characters were formed in the cotton mill villages of the South wore it as a badge of honor. Wilt Browning, who went on to become a sports writer, columnist & editor for some of the South'ss major newspapers, as well as public relations director for the Atlanta Falcons & Baltimore Colts, was part of the last generation to be born & raised on the mill hill in Easley, South Carolina. This memoir is a look at mill hill life from the 1940s through the early '50s, when the mills began selling off company houses & life on the mill hills began changing rapidly. Browning revisits the life that thousands of Carolinians & other Southerners once lived, a life that exists now only in memories.Browning, Wilt is the author of 'Linthead Growing Up in a Carolina Cotton Mill Village' with ISBN 9781878086006 and ISBN 1878086006.
