Brass Valley:Story Of Working Peoples Lives in CT Mills by Jeremy Brecher SIGNED

Description: 1982 Softcover Book entitled Brass Valley: The Story of Working People's Lives and Struggles in an American Industrial Region / The Brass Workers History Project; compiled and edited by Jeremy Brecher, Jerry Lombardi, and Jan Stackhouse. From A Review: "A remarkable book. . . we glimpse the vast sweep of American industrial history over the past one hundred and fifty years. There is really no other book available which covers so many different topics in American labor and social history . . . Of great interest not only to labor historians, but also historians of business, women, blacks, immigrants, technology and cities. As a supplemental text in a variety of American history courses it would be particularly valuable because it covers so many different topics in a clear and vivid fashion. Brass Valley will make a major contribution to our understanding of labor and community history. Even more important, it will stand as an eloquent and moving account of the lives and struggles of the thousands who have labored in the brass mills of Connecticut over the past century and a half."
