What stories do we tell about America's once-great industries at
a time when they are fading from the landscape? Pennsylvania in
Public Memory attempts to answer that question, exploring the
emergence of a heritage culture of industry and its loss through
the lens of its most representative industrial state. Based on news
coverage, interviews, and more than two hundred heritage sites,
this book traces the narrative themes that shape modern public
memory of coal, steel, railroading, lumber, oil, and agriculture,
and that collectively tell a story about national as well as local
identity in a changing social and economic world.
