Despite the pivotal role Ohio has played in the transformation of the
United States from a predominantly agrarian society to an urban-industrial
colossus, the rich and varied history of the state's racially and ethnically
diverse working people simply has not been told before. This book tells
that story by focusing upon workers' concerns both on and off the job
over nearly eighteen decades-- issues such as mechanization, recreation,
housing, standards of living, health and safety, unionization, and personal
dignity.
