IN a bend of the south bank of the Monongahela River, eight miles from Pittsburgh, nestles the thriving town of Homestead, a place of about , inhabitants, built up by the wealth and enterprise of the Carnegie Steel Company and the thrift of the artisans employed by that great manufacturing corporation. Without the Carnegie mills there would be no Homestead. Like the mushroom towns that sprang up along the Northern Pacific Railroad while the line was in process of construction and that died out as fast as the base of operations was shifted, so Homestead sprang into being when the site now occupied by the town was picked out by Andrew Carnegie as a producing center, and so, too, if the Carnegie firm were to move its works to-morrow, would Homestead be blotted off the map, or, at best, reduced to the rank of an insignificant village.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Can't beat these old tellings By Alan Venable It's so great that this book has been brought back into print. It's a newspaper reporter's very animated, excited reporting of the Homestead PA steel strike of 1892, which was suppressed by the Pennsylvania state militia after the strikers confronted and defeated several barge loads of private Pinkerton "guards" that Henry Clay Frick tried to bring in to take control of the mill. The event was huge and, ultimately, a death blow to organized labor in the steel industry for the next 35 years. The book definitely takes the side of the strikers, which at the time was also the side that most locals (Homestead is basically a part of Pittsburgh) also took at the time. The book catches all the exciting moments of the confrontations and subsequent trials for treason and so forth, and paints interesting likable pictures of the leaders of the strike, such as Hugh O'Donnell and John McLuckie, who seem to have been, by and large, pretty much regular guys of the time. This is wonderful reading and will surprise in its richness of interesting details about life in the 1890s.
