What was it like being a steel worker in the beginning era of the steel industry?

The steel and metal industry has been one of the most critical components in shaping what is now America as we know it today.  The men, women and families that made it all possible are embedded in the rich history of our American culture.  I am offering a few links to give you a taste of what it was like in the beginnings of steel industry in America.  I hope you enjoy them.  If you have any other interesting articles to add, please email us a link.

Around the turn of the century, thousands of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe came to the United States to build a better life for themselves and their families.

When founded in 1901, United States Steel Corporation was the largest business enterprise ever launched, with an authorized capitalization of $1.4 billion. Throughout the years, U. S. Steel responded to changing economic conditions and new market opportunities through diversification and periodic restructuring. Today, over a century after its founding, U. S. Steel remains the largest integrated steel producer in the United States.
