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.

Book excerpt: After growing up under the twin specters of the shuttered Bethlehem Steel plant and the cross-topped spires that shadow the dreams of its residents, Buffalo Steel finds its narrator setting off to seek her own spirit, away from the forces that forged her. Firmly grounded in the historical and cultural context of the Queen City, this lyrical journey explores how a child raised in a conservative, religious culture can free herself from the bonds that made her, without losing her place in that world. Through a series of stories connected by threads of historical anecdotes and biblical touchstones, the narrator explores her own changing views on what it means to be part of a society, whether by birth, assimilation or a combination of the two. After a spiritual awakening leaves her skeptical of the world in which she was raised, she seeks solace in a Catholic college that offers faint echoes of the home that cradled her childhood. There, she learns to worship at new altars, as the university culture infiltrates her quest for meaning. That quest sees her travel to Oxford, Dublin, Italy, Washington D.C. and back again, finding displacement and disillusionment everywhere she lands. Along the way, she discovers that her identity has been waiting all along: not in a foreign apartment or a Buffalo bedroom, but in their incorporation into one holistic concept of personhood, within a world she has learned to create from the filings of who she was always been destined to become.
