Abstract:

There is a Pungee Indian legend that tells why the Lotus, the lovely, exotic flower of the water lily family blooms so profusely on the Alligator River near the Albemarle Sound in eastern North Carolina. Although this flower of thick, waxen petals is a thing of beauty, deep in the center lies a seed so poisonous that it is fatal to those who eat it. This seed was once the cruel and callous heart of Lotus, a lovely but wanton Indian maid.

Abstract:

Herman Cone came to America from Bavaria in 1845, settling first in Virginia, then in Tennessee where his thirteen children were born. Lawrence recounts the lives of brothers Caesar and Moses Cone, who were industrialists and philanthropists. Following successful business ventures in other sections of the country, the brothers opened a textile mill in Greensboro in the late 1890s that within a decade grew to be the largest cotton mill in the South and the largest denim manufacturing mill in the world.
