"Calumet 'K'" by Samuel Merwin and Henry Kitchell Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the construction of a two-million-bushel grain elevator in Calumet, an ambitious project facing numerous challenges, including project delays and problems with labor management. The main character, Charlie Bannon, has been brought in to take charge of the construction after the prior manager, Peterson, struggled with the job's demands and the complications that arose. At the start of the book, Bannon arrives at the chaotic construction site of the Calumet K elevator, taking over from Peterson, who is overwhelmed by the project and held up waiting for critical materials. The opening chapters introduce the work environment filled with tension amidst the arrival of a walking delegate who threatens to disrupt operations due to labor disputes. The narrative focuses on Bannon's efforts to organize the work, implement solutions, and keep the project on track despite the obstacles posed by labor issues and delays in supplies, setting the stage for a gripping tale of determination and leadership in the face of adversity.
