Zusammenfassung:<P>First published in 1910 in the classic <em>PittsburghSurvey</em>, this pioneering work of American social history,reproduced in its entirety, describes daily life in a communitythat was dominated economically and physically by the giantHomestead Works of the United States Steel Corporation. The town ofHomestead, just across the Monongahela River from Pittsburgh,developed as a completely separate city-a true mill town settled bynewer immigrants and shaped in its attitudes by the infamousHomestead Strike of 1892, which significantly set back unionizationefforts in the steel industry. <em>Homestead:</em> <em>TheHouseholds of a Mill Town</em> not only focuses on the plight ofthe American steel worker in the late nineteenth and earlytwentieth century, it also explores the domestic and communityaspects of life in that time period.</p>.
