No social equality in labor says Master Workman Powderly

The report covers reactions to interracial labor, a drunken captain from Darien, and predictions about Knights of Labor unity in 1888. It also notes steel railway advances, female suffrage activism, and a tale of a nocturnal owl entangled with a steel trap in a poultry yard.

Land deal that built a coal empire under Gordon family
A Tennessee neighbor offered to buy a Georgia tract near the marble mountain. Gordon doubled from $10 to $100 as the seller pressed, then traced a trail to a cave and spring. Coal mining soon followed, the land skyrocketed in value to about 1,000,000, and Gordon later moved to Alabama while sons Walker and the General ran the operations.
