The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire (Hardcover, Library binding)

The United States has been shaped by the people and events of its past. This series vividly describes events that had a major impact on U.S. history and introduces young readers to the people who shaped them. The easy-to-read text, historic art and photography, suggested activities, and clear, simple maps help bring to life the cause of these events, their effects on people at the time, and their significance today. This book explains the circumstances of factory labour in the early 1900s that led to the tragic fire that killed 146 people.
