ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This book traces the history of the Washington Iron Works, in Franklin County, a small charcoal furnace typical in size and operation. The second Virginia works erected south of the James River and the first major industry of Franklin County, the Washington Iron Works differed from other antebellum Virginia ironworks in two ways: its continued vitality (in a period when iron-manufacturing companies rose and fell with alarming regularity) and the unusual talents and personalities of the men associated with it. The owner's of the ironworks and their extended families were among the most influential inhabitants of the county in the antebellum period, and their role in the county's history is remembered there even today.(Publisher).

Sobre Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
