"Homestead" by Arthur Gordon Burgoyne is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the pivotal 1892 conflict between the Carnegie Steel Company and the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, capturing a significant moment in American labor history. The narrative focuses on the experiences of the steelworkers, especially the struggle they faced against the formidable power of industrial capital represented by figures like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick." "The opening of "Homestead" sets the stage for the intense labor struggle that unfolds, detailing the background of Homestead, a town built around the Carnegie Steel mill. It introduces key figures like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, outlining their roles in both industry and labor relations. Burgoyne emphasizes the expectations of the workers as they prepare for a negotiation over wage scales, unaware of the impending conflict and the aggressive tactics that Frick intends to employ against them. The narrative captures a moment steeped in tension, highlighting the precarious situation of the laborers as they confront looming threats to their livelihoods and dignity."
