Capital's Utopia: Vandergrift, Pennsylvania
Anne E. Mosher's 2004 book, Capital's Utopia: Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, 1855–1916, examines the history of Vandergrift, a planned industrial town in Pennsylvania. The book explores the interplay between industrial restructuring, urban planning (specifically the involvement of the Olmsted firm), and labor relations in shaping the town's development. Mosher analyzes the town's creation as a response to changing economic conditions and the changing relationship between capital and labor in the steel industry. The study uses a variety of sources, including census data, company records, and personal accounts, to offer a detailed account of Vandergrift’s social, economic, and geographical evolution. Ultimately, the book reveals the complex and often contradictory outcomes of attempts to create a "model" industrial town.
