Recent release “The Timekeeper’s Daughter” from Page Publishing author Dale Peskin is a spellbinding novel based in part on his own reporting for his hometown newspaper, “The Youngstown Vindicator”, which disclosed mismanagement at Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and collusion with the Antitrust Division of the US Justice Department and led to the loss of more than 5,000 steelworker jobs at Sheet & Tube’s Campbell Works in what was at the time the largest plant closing in US history and the catalyst for the massive economic crisis that followed- a moment viewed as the end of the industrial era.
