Reading Now: Less Than Forever

I am currently reading “Less Than Forever: the Rise and Decline of Union Solidarity in Western Pennsylvania, 1914-1948 by Carl I. Meyerhuber,Jr.   it has a great chapter on “the Black Valley” the Alle-Kiski Valley and its opposition to unions. It has the best information I have read about local labor hero Fannie Sellins, whose grave is about 1/2 mile from our house here in New Kensington.

Very interesting reading about the Valley and local labor and industry.
