Selected Bibliography. Index. Author signed bookplate on half-title. William Serrin, a former labor and workplace correspondent for the New York Times, taught at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at NYU. He is the author of several books, including Homestead: The Glory and Tragedy of an American Steel Town, and editor of The Business of Journalism (The New Press). For more than a century Homestead, Pennsylvania, was the most important steel town in America. The center of the vast Carnegie empire known as U.S. Steel, Homestead fell into industrial decline, and by 1986 the entire operation had shut down. Now a former labor correspondent of The New York Times chronicles its rise and fall. Derived from a Kirkus review: A profoundly moving elegy on the death of a legendary Pennsylvania steel town--and, by extension, the end of a century of Smokestack America--from Serrin, a former labor correspondent for The New York Times. The Homestead Steel Works was the site of the epic 1892 strike and lockout that saw steel chieftains Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick use the Pinkertons to crush the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers. Serrin's account follows ``America's most famous steel town'' through another 100 years that saw its fortunes rise and fall with that of the town's company overlord, U.S. Steel, and even the nation as a whole. During this time, Homestead steel was used for America's skyscrapers, railroads, bridges, and battleships. Serrin covers, with an often acerbic eye, the major corporate and labor leaders who became a part of the town's history, including Carnegie, Frick, Charles Schwab, Judge Elbert Gary, John L. Lewis, and Philip Murray.…
