Sparrows Point was on the map nearly a century before the city of Baltimore was laid out and just 20 years after the colony of Maryland was established. After receiving a land grant from Lord Baltimore in 1652, Thomas Sparrow named the area Sparrows Nest; although he never lived here and his heirs eventually disposed of the 600 acres, his name stuck. In 1886, the Pennsylvania Steel Company purchased 385 acres from Capt. and Mrs. William Fitzell, and work began immediately on a new plant, a shipyard, and a company town. Furnace A was fired up in October 1889. That same year, passenger rail service to and from Baltimore commenced. Meanwhile, laborers who chose to reside in the company town rented houses on streets with letters and numbers for names in locations designated by their job and race. By 1916, Bethlehem Steel had acquired Sparrows Point. Over time, the Point would become the worlds largest steel mill, supported by a prosperous, selfsufficient town.

This saga centers around the Chesapeake Bay and Mark Hopkins, a charismatic former SEAL, who juggles his family life with running a steel mill (Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point), leasing part of the land to a research institute for the study of nudity, and wheeling and dealing in art. After finding a Remington bronze in a thrift store, which is sold for a $450,000 profit, his steel mill is sabotaged by a millionaire to avenge the court martial of his corrupt son. Woven into the overtly-comic storyline are several protgs: a hair-stylist whos transformed into a TV astrological forecaster; a tech writer, into a cabaret singer; and a knuckleball pitcher, into a pro-baseball scout whose first discovery is a young Navajo catcher from Taos, NM. The action, suspense and pace are crafted to have you turning pages to see what happens next. Expect suggestive double-entendre one-liners to tickle your funnybone.

Making Steel chronicles the rise and fall of American steel by focusing on the fateful decisions made at the world's once largest steel mill at Sparrows Point, Maryland. Mark Reutter examines the business, production, and daily lives of workers as corporate leaders became more interested in their own security and enrichment than in employees, community, or innovative technology. This edition features 26 pages of photos, an author's preface, and a new chapter on the devastating effects of Bethlehem Steel's bankruptcy titled "The Discarded American Worker."
