Book Overview
Homestead, first published in 1910 as one volume in the classic Pittsburgh Survey, describes daily life in a community that was dominated economically and physically by the giant Homestead Works of the United States Steel Corporation. Homestead, just across the Monongahela River from Pittsburgh, developed as a completely separate city -- a true mill town settled by newer immigrants and shaped in its attitudes by the infamous Homestead Strike of 1892.

Homestead: The Households of a Milltown
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I found this book extremely helpful for a report I was writing. I wouldn't recommend it as a casual read, or for anyone looking to get a comprehensive history. It is part of The Pittsburgh Survey series and, as the name implies, it is a survey- a cross-section of a narrow group of people at a specific time. I'll admit to a fascination with the history of Homestead and therefore a bias, but I liked the book so much I would like to buy a copy for myself.
