About This Book
"This history of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation paints a gritty portrait of the successes and failures of the American steel industry as a whole, and J&L Steel in particular. From the beginning, its workers were intensely loyal and creative.
The 131-year life of this "American Business" is presented from its origins as one of the many struggling ironmakers in the mid-19th century through its leadership in technological innovation and progressive worker/management relations in the early 20th century to its demise in 1984."--BOOK JACKET.
"Portraits in Steel is the authors' effort to help explain and to save something of the heritage of a once-vital company and to portray its wide-ranging impact on the local and national community."--BOOK JACKET.
