“Mills typically had many windows, all of them large, in order to capture as much daylight as possible, and the Pemberton, when constructed six years before, was considered a model of efficiency. Its windows were unusually large for that purpose. But ten hours of daylight were not enough. The mill’s workday went on for twelve hours, until seven o’clock in the evening. By 4:30 p.m. on January 10, men assigned to lighting lamps were making their rounds.”
Alvin F. Oickle, Disaster in Lawrence: The Fall of the Pemberton Mill

“When the final count was made, months later, the casualties from that horrid night at the Pemberton Mill exceeded four hundred.”
Alvin F. Oickle, Disaster in Lawrence: The Fall of the Pemberton Mill

“Determining which man was responsible for failed work at the Pemberton Mill, therefore, would be dependent first upon precisely pinpointing the area at fault.”
Alvin F. Oickle, Disaster in Lawrence: The Fall of the Pemberton Mill
