| Abstract | The protagonist Boy Troopers—a clique of 17- and 18-year-old Pennsylvania State Police officers—are dispatched to quell a labor dispute at a steel mill in Wilmercairn, a fictitious Pittsburgh suburb (likely an amalgam of Wilmerding and Pitcairn). Notably anti-labor, this novel portrays the strikers’ violent faction as “entirely composed of Hungarians, Slovaks, and other foreigners.” |
