Written from the author's personal knowledge of the district, this is a picture of the fabulous and violent past of Pennsylvania's famed coke region and of its uncertain present. In tracing its history Sheppard shows the changes in methods of production and in the racial character of the population; she pictures early mob violence, and the conditions that led to union organisation. Originally published in 1947.
