520			_a"Through the Mill: The Life of a Mill-Boy" by Al Priddy is an autobiographical narrative written in the early 20th century. This work provides a firsthand account of life as a young boy in a mill town, detailing the challenges of poverty, family strife, and the harsh realities of labor. The main character, Al Priddy, navigates a difficult childhood alongside his uncle and aunt, who struggle with their own issues, including alcoholism and financial instability. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to Al Priddy on his tenth birthday in northern England. He reflects on his turbulent family life after losing his parents and living with his Uncle Stanwood and Aunt Millie. Al describes the colorful yet challenging environment of his uncle's fish shop, the complexities of his aunt's strong personality, and the gradual descent into poverty and disarray as his uncle succumbs to alcoholism. The narrative quickly sets the stage for Al's transition from childhood innocence to the harsh realities of labor, hinting at the intertwining themes of hardship and resilience that will likely be explored throughout his journey.
