In this fascinating book, Ronald Garay tells the story of how industry-altering decisions made by US Steel executives reverberated in the hollows of Appalachia. From the area's industrial revolution in the early twentieth century to the peak of steel-making activity in the 1940s, to the industry's decline in the 1970s, this offers an illuminating example of how coal and steel paternalism shaped the eastern mountain region.
