The Life of William M. Wood
This book is about William M. Wood, the founder of Shawsheen Village in Andover and the American Woolen Company. Mr. Wood was born in Portugal in 1858. He was a very complex and elusive man. The stockholders of the American Woolen Company admired him for his ability to achieve a very successful business. The labor organizers and some of his workers found him to be the personification of a robber baron. This book says he was "all and none of these fancies."
