About the Book
Find your place in Lucy McCain's notebook and learn what it was like to grow up in Allegheny County during the 'war years'. Travel with her to school on the school bus, become a family member of a mill worker, and experience with the people of the hollows and small towns all up and down the Mon River, the war as it was played out on the home front. Spend the day at Kennywood Park for the school picnic and attend a tea party in Pittsburgh with Edna and her friends and be amazed at the surprise outcome of that engagement. A Steel Valley Saga takes the reader from the years 1942 to 1947, when the "big war" was over and the economy, thanks mainly to the National Labor Union, began its rise to the days when times were "good" for the workers in industry and consequently for the rest of the nation. It was a time that Charlie called 'high tide' for the union and the country! Find out why.
