The Iron Puddler: My Life In The Rolling Mills And What Came Of It - Hardcover

The Iron Puddler: My Life In The Rolling Mills And What Came Of It is an autobiographical book written by James J. Davis. Davis was a prominent American politician and labor leader who worked as an iron puddler in the steel mills of Pennsylvania in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of Davis's life and work in the mills, as well as his experiences as a labor organizer and advocate for workers' rights. Davis describes the grueling physical labor of the iron puddler, the dangerous working conditions in the mills, and the struggles of workers to improve their wages and working conditions. He also discusses his involvement in the labor movement, including his work with the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and his role in the establishment of the United States Department of Labor. The Iron Puddler is a fascinating and informative account of one man's life in the steel mills of America, and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the struggles of workers during a pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
