The setting: the 1890s, the golden age of Pittsburgh when its technological innovations and wealth creation made it the Silicon Valley of its day. Pittsburgh was first in steel, food processing, and electricity, and the leaders of those industries – Carnegie, Frick, Heinz, and Westinghouse – are names we still know today. The story: A young Yale graduate is faced with a decision: accede to his father’s wishes and pursue a career in law or the steel business or follow his own instincts and become a newspaperman. Witnessing the infamous Johnstown Flood confirms his choice to be a journalist, and he becomes witness to the spectacular boom of the country’s biggest business – steel.
Join the author in a discussion of the writing, publishing, and promotion process he experienced in the creation of Steel City, his first novel.
