An engrossing contemporary (1864) history of a Civil War field army from its formation in 1861 at Louisville, Kentucky, to its victories at Chattanooga and Chickamauga in October 1863; its defense, conquest, and occupation of the border states of Kentucky and Tennessee; and its police record of spies and dealings with the civilian population in occupied Tennessee, a mountainous region that supplied the Confederacy with food and controlled important rail lines. Indexed for the first time, it includes exciting accounts of the Army of the Cumberland's expeditions and battles in Kentucky and Tennessee along with a complete description of the army's organization and its leaders.

This classic account of the worker in the steel industry during the early years of the twentieth century combines the social investigator’s mastery of facts with the vivid personal touch of the journalist. From its pages emerges a finely etched picture of how men lived and worked in steel. In 1907-1908, when John Fitch spent more than a year in Pittsburgh interviewing workers, steel was the master industry of the region. It employed almost 80,000 workers and virtually controlled social and civic life. Fitch observed steel workers on the job, and he describes succinctly the prevailing technology of iron and steelmaking: the blast furnace crews, the puddlers and rollers; the crucible, Bessemer, and open hearth processes. He examined the health problems and accidents which resulted from the pressure of long hours, hazardous machinery, and speed-ups in production. He also anaylzed the early experiments in welfare capitolism, such as accident prevention and compensation, and pensions. One of the six volumes in the famous Pittsburgh Survey (1909-1914), The Steel Workers remains a readable and timeless account of labor conditions in the early years of the steel industry. An introduction by the noted historian Roy Lubove places the book in political and historical context and makes it especially suitable for classroom use.

Product Description 
An unusual and irreverent guide to transforming your meetings from time-sucking interruptions to productive moments of collaboration – whether your team is together or virtual. 
What if meetings could be the high point of collaboration in your day, instead of the usual time-sucking soul-draining experience they often become? 
In this guide, expert facilitators Douglas Ferguson and John Fitch tackle the myth that the most effective way to get more out of meetings is to just avoid having them or to have less of them. In a well-run organization, meetings should actually be integral to getting sh*t done. 
Meetings are the secret underappreciated weapon that businesses are using badly. And why do they use them so badly? Because no one has been taught how to make them better. In this guide, you will learn:\nWhat if having an agenda has no effect on whether you have a great meeting? 
What happens when you actually do the work in the meeting? 
What are the five common elements of every meeting that sucks, and how do you avoid them?\nDouglas and John show you how to adopt and adapt the non-obvious Meeting Mantras they developed at their company, Voltage Control. Their methods have helped companies and teams transform the perception of meetings from “going to the dentist” (ie – something you have to do but hate) into something you can’t wait for – like a rock concert or great dinner.
