Homestead (original edition) by Margaret Byington

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.

Margaret F. Byington (1877–1952)wrote a number of books about public welfare, social work, and community building throughout her lifetime.
