Best remembered today for his fierce opposition to labor,
especially during the Homestead Strike of 1892, Henry Clay Frick
was also one of the most powerful and innovative industrialists of
the nineteenth century. Kenneth Warren is the first historian to be
given unrestricted access to the extensive Frick archives in
Pittsburgh. Drawing on Frick's personal and business papers, as
well as the records of the H. C. Frick Coal & Coke Company, the
Carnegie Steel Company, and the U.S. Steel Corporation, Warren
provides a wealth of new insights into Frick's relationship with
such contemporaries as Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, Charles Schwab, and
Elbert Gary. He describes and analyzes the key decisions that
formed labor and industrial policy in the iron and steel industry
during a period of growth that remains unparalleled in American
business history. Not only an industrial biography of a driving
force in American industry and the organization of American
business, Triumphant Capitalism makes a major contribution to our
understanding of the history of the basic industries, the shaping
of society, locality, and region - and thereby of laying the
foundations for the value systems and landscapes of present-day
America.
