Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area...

The area to tour..
...Pennsylvania, way down the the Southwest corner of the state,
lies the River of Steel area, the people are great;
they came from Scotland, Hungary, Poland, Estonia and Latvia too,
they mined the coal and made the steel, no much they couldn't do.

Mr. Carnegie started it all and sold it to J. P. Morgan for real,
that was the beginning of the biggest of all, U. S. Steel;
there was a lot of money to be made, before the rust belt came,
free trade killed an industry and thousands of jobs - shame!
Reduced to rust
This crane no longer lifts..
Hot steel in the making
