Where We Worked presents a richly illustrated and beautifully evocative panorama of the experience of work and workplaces during America's golden age of labor. Follow this hardworking country from the Industrial Revolution of the 1830s to the monumental task of building an economic and military superpower-a nation that, by 1940, was poised to defeat fascism and, by its example, build the case for democracy throughout the world.Through 400 powerful images of ordinary Americans doing their jobs, first-hand accounts of these men and women at work, and the author's deeply informed and energetic narrative, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those who fashioned this nation. Where We Worked will be a treasured keepsake for anyone whose ancestors helped make the United States of America into the modern economy it is today.
