- Description:
- Photocopy of handwritten report that provides historical context around the Etowah Manufacturing and Mining Company of Georgia, first by recounting the industrial ventures of Mark Anthony Cooper, who moved to Cass County around 1843 and established a furnace, rolling mill, and flour mill. It highlights Cooper’s collaboration with other figures like Moses Stroup and Edward H. Hincks, and discusses the company’s role in regional development. The narrative also covers Cooper’s financial difficulties and the eventual sale of his interests in the enterprise.
