From the book jacket:

​

For almost a century, the Blair Strip Steel Company of New Castle, Pennsylvania, has made cold-rolled specialty steel beyond a world-class standard. The current Blair company was founded in 1923 to serve the burgeoning automobile market, but the story of the Blair family’s impact on the iron and steel industry began in the late 1700s and continues today.

​

Despite facing significant adversity – economic depression, war, the rise of China, the fall of American manufacturing – Blair Strip Steel remains one of the most successful steelmakers in the country and a beloved institution for its employees and community. On the shoulders of eight generations of Blair entrepreneurs, the company maintains its formula for small business success and continues to forge the future of material science.
