The Mill

Description:

"Theirs was a world of extremes - from the North Mill, with its red-hot steel and iron and its oppressive layer of soot, to the South Mill, with its clean-swept floors and gleaming finished products: tinplate, pipe, and I-beams. They knew the contrast also between the blast furnace - a veritable hell on earth, where the hot iron flowed and the acrid smell of combustibles permeated the air - and the eerie calm and darkness found working near the river at 3:00 a.m.". "The Mill-- the Jones & Laughlin Aliquippa Works-- was once the largest integrated steel making plant in the world"--BOOK JACKET.
