William Henry Harrison Rose (born 1839-died 1913) and his sister, Elsie Maria Babcock Rose (born 1838-died 1926) were born after the industrialzation of weaving early in the 19th Century. Yet, they continued to live, farm, and weave much as their ancestors had done since settling in what is now Rhode Island in the late 17th Century. The author explores not only the rich history of this family but shares a way of life long gone. Weaver Rose was instrumental in collecting and saving many of the traditional weaving patterns that were being lost with the industrialization of weaving. He was also instrumental in forming the first American organization for handweavers called the Colonial Weavers' Association. His patterns, often written on scraps of paper, eventually became the basis for the classic book, A Handweaver's Pattern Book by Marguerite Porter Davison as well as the inspiration for much of the early weaving of Mary Meigs Atwater.
