The Battle For Homestead, 1880-1892: Politics, Culture, and Steel
The Battle For Homestead, 1880-1892: Politics, Culture, and Steel by Paul Krause

The Homestead Strike, or Homestead Massacre, was one of the most serious strikes in US labour history, finishing in a battle between workers and private security agents. Paul Krause has written a brilliant and insightful history of the strike.


Paul Krause calls upon the methods and insights of labor history, intellectual history, anthropology, and the history of technology to situate the events of the lockout and their significance in the broad context of America’s Guilded Age.  Utilizing extensive archival material, much of it heretofore unknown, he reconstructs the social, intellectual, and political climate of the burgeoning post-Civil War steel industry.
