Reviews

I do love these dramatic pictures of massive machines at work, with great wheels and gears turning, with everyone in place except Charlie Chaplin in 'Modern Times.' Lance Trusty, author of Munster: A Centennial History This book will be of great interest to the thousands of men and women who have spent their lives working in the heavy industrial plants at the northwest part of the state. Kenneth Schoon, author of Calumet Beginnings: Ancient Shorelines and Settlements at the South End of Lake Michigan

Kenneth Schoon, author of Calumet Beginnings: Ancient Shorelines and Settlements at the South End of Lake Michigan [Steel Giants] is a wonderful array of images from a time when enormous structures that poured out steel, and the people who worked within these structures, dominated the landscape. --Indiana Magazine of History, September 2010
