Synopsis

The Dotson Story recounts the history of a manufacturing company in rural Minnesota as it transformed from a small blacksmith shop in 1876 to one of the most advanced foundries of the twenty-first century. But it is more than a tale of a rural Midwestern Company. It also is a story that captures the saga of manufacturing in America during the past 150 years. This candid account of family, labor-management relations, economic cycles, and disasters and triumphs proves that through it all, American manufacturing continues to flourish.
