Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 200 years, Western New York has been witness to the socioeconomic rise and decline of a mighty steel industry. Like other rust belt cities, Buffalo, New York, was once an incredible financial and manufacturing superpower on the Great Lakes. The steel industry of Western New York was a leader of the Gilded Age and the embodiment of the postwar American dream. It employed almost a third of the regional population--many of whom still live in the area. As time progressed, failure to develop and compete with foreign contenders ultimately led to the collapse of its steel industry. Former steel workers have fought to keep this regional history alive and have contributed to this book. The Steel Plant Museum of Western New York, along with members of the community, have graciously assisted in the selection of images used to describe this once-great and influential industry.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most awesome sights of the Buffalo industrial scene is that of the Bethlehem Steel Plant as it is viewed from atop the Father Baker Bridge. This sight is impressive enough to make one stop and think of what the city of Lackawanna, and even Buffalo, would be like in the absence of this industry. The vital part that the steel company plays in the lives of the citizens of Lackawanna is known to the author since a brother and two uncles work there. Despite the dirty, sprawling appearance of this industrial area, it is necessary to the life and growth of Lackawanna. In this paper, the author has attempted to present a history of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in the city of Lackawanna as it is seen through the eyes of a small city newspaper over a certain period of time. In relying on information gathered from newspapers, one must be careful since they are often biased and generally make little effort to substantiate the facts and figures used. The author has attempted to sort out these various news articles and use them to present a history of an industry which is very important to the people in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, rails from Bethlehem Steel helped build the United States into the world's foremost economy. During the 1890s, Bethlehem became America's leading supplier of heavy armaments, and by 1914, it had pioneered new methods of structural steel manufacture that transformed urban skylines. Demand for its war materials during World War I provided the finance for Bethlehem to become the world's second-largest steel maker. As late as 1974, the company achieved record earnings of $342 million. But in the 1980s and 1990s, through wildly fluctuating times, losses outweighed gains, and Bethlehem struggled to downsize and reinvest in newer technologies. By 2001, in financial collapse, it reluctantly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Two years later, International Steel Group acquired the company for $1.5 billion.In Bethlehem Steel, Kenneth Warren presents an original and compelling history of a leading American company, examining the numerous factors contributing to the growth of this titan and those that eventually felled it—along with many of its competitors in the U.S. steel industry.Warren considers the investment failures, indecision and slowness to abandon or restructure outdated "integrated" plants plaguing what had become an insular, inward-looking management group. Meanwhile competition increased from more economical "mini mills" at home and from new, technologically superior plants overseas, which drove world prices down, causing huge flows of imported steel into the United States.Bethlehem Steel provides a fascinating case study in the transformation of a major industry from one of American dominance to one where America struggled to survive.
