The Triangle Strike and Fire is the first volume in a series of brief books entitled American Stories. The Volumes in this distinctive series focus on dramatic stories and include a broad range of primary materials, engaging students' imaginations and challenging them with the interpretive and methodological issues with which historians grapple in seeking to make sense of the past. The stories chosen represent intersections of several important historical developments. For example, the Triangle strike (1909) and fire (1911) are key events in various approaches to U.S. history: women's studies, labor history, cultural studies, and ethnic studies. The Triangle Strike and Fire is an appropriate supplement for courses related to the areas listed above, as well as survey courses and courses in Twentieth-Century U.S. and the Progressive Era.
