Description

This book, written from the creator’s personal knowledge of the district, is an image of the fabulous and violent past of Pennsylvania’s famed coke region and of its uncertain present. In tracing its history Sheppard shows the changes in methods of production and within the racial character of the population; she pictures early mob violence, the activities of coal and iron police, and the conditions that resulted in union organization within the section.

Originally published in 1947.
