Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores Farrell's transformation from swampy woodlands to a vibrant 20th-century boomtown, earning the nickname "The Magic City." Established in 1912 and known for its high number of churches and bars, Farrell became a cultural melting pot for Southern and Eastern European immigrants, as well as Southern migrants. By the 1950s, it gained recognition for its sports achievements and was home to Sharon Steel. Despite challenges like mill closures, Farrell thrived into the 1990s, boasting its own library and hospital, and fostering community initiatives.
