  title = {Cooper's Walk: An Illustrated Tale of Pennsylvania Labor},
  abstract = {The protagonist, born Jacques Perdiquer in Alsace in 1822, joins the “<em>compagnonnage</em>” of coopers, a French brotherhood of barrel-makers, at 16. Jacques then emigrates to Philadelphia in 1842 in order to avoid seven years of French military service. Here he takes on an American name, Jack Cooper. The Philadelphia Nativist Riots of that year chase Cooper west to Allegheny City where his trade connects him to nearly every major event in Pittsburgh labor history: the Great Pittsburgh Fire of 1845; Cotton Girls Strike of 1845; Pennsylvania Oil Rush; Railroad Strike of 1877; Homestead Strike of 1892; and the 1909 Pressed Car Strike.},
