The Life of William M. Wood
This book is a subject-biography on William Madison Wood, the co-founder of and driving force behind American Woolen Company. The foreword states that "although he is an academic historian, Dr. Roddy has written this book primarily for a general adult audience...hope[fully read] by hundreds of men and women who enjoy biography and local history." At a scant 132 pages, the text mostly focuses on Wood's involvement with the textile industry and his "model community," Shawsheen Village in Andover, MA.
