Book Description: “The ‘golden’ years of the small mill town of Cliffside, North Carolina, spanned the 100-year life of the textile industry in the Carolina’s Piedmont region. A decade of research for the historical Web site Remember Cliffside has uncovered an enormous amount of information about the town’s century in the sun. This book is a collection of stories and photos from the Web site about life and leisure in the little town. The decline and eventual death of the textile industry nearly obliterated the Cliffside we once knew, but not the memories that still abound.”
