DESCRIPTION:Labor historian Harvey Schwartz has compiled oral histories of nine workers 
 who helped build the celebrated bridge. Their powerful recollections 
 chronicle the technical details of construction, the grueling physical 
 conditions they endured, the small pleasures they enjoyed, and the gruesome 
 accidents some workers suffered. The result is an evocation of 
 working-class life and culture in a bygone era.\n \n"Harvey Schwartz 
 follows the example of Studs Terkel by allowing workers to speak for 
 themselves. Building the Golden Gate Bridge comes at a time when we 
 Americans are asking ourselves, are we finished as a working nation-if and 
 when work is defined as highly skilled, demanding, dangerous, intricate 
 performance by ordinary workers operating at the top of their game? This 
 book, the voices of these workers, and the Golden Gate Bridge itself gives 
 us the confidence to assert that labor in America is far from finished. It 
 has got a long way to go-and the Golden Gate Bridge has set the standards 
 for that journey." -Kevin Starr, California State Librarian Emeritus  \n
