Résumé (en)

The story of the Clinch Valley Blanket Mills in Cedar Bluff, Virginia, 1890-1950, reveals an interesting aspect of the Arts & Crafts revival in southern Appalachia. The company, owned and operated by C.E. Goodwin and his four sons, served as a model of clever marketing, crafts revival, and quality workmanship. The Goodwin family capitalized on the demand for colonial style textiles to sell products in different markets, influencing the public's attitude toward Appalachian weaving for over 60 years.
