Keith Clouse was there. From the early 1970s through the slow collapse of the 1980s, he pressed the shutter when others would have put the camera away — in bad weather, on unglamorous branch lines, inside mills, at rusting furnaces.
The result is an intimate, unsentimental record of a place and a people in the last years of an industrial era. With forewords by Kevin Scanlon and Ronald A. Baraff (VP of Historic Resources, Rivers of Steel).
