The Albion Malleable Iron Company was the major influence in
bringing hundreds of workers from eastern and southern Europe, and
from southern U.S. states to Albion, Michigan, in the early 20th
century. These workers established their families and lived their
lives in this industrial town, which grew to become a true "melting
pot" of ethnic diversity in the 20th century.
Albion in the 20th Century features more than 225 photographs
from the personal collection of Albion historian Frank Passic,
which chronologically show the changes in the community. The book
focuses on everyday workers (including union officials and factory
workers) and ball teams-plus "famous" people such as wildlife
artist Lynn Bogue Hunt and writer-photographer Gwen Dew. Notable
events chronicled include the capture of the Purple Gang car, the
1994 NCAA Division III Albion College Britons national football
championship, and the Cardboard Classic sled race.
