Bill Ladd, who is in the video, wrote the following: For those asking, this really is a large "dump" along a river that was behind a large mill that recycled cloth (often for paper or even making new cloth items). This is the second one I have found. Oldtimers will tell stories of the "ragman" who went around & collected any old clothing folks were tossing or had in the attic (including Civil War uniforms, etc). Mill workers, & later machines, stripped off the old buttons, and after 50+ years they made quite a pile behind the mills for us!
