The Homestead Steel Strike, 1892 This lithograph depicts the battle between strikers at the Carnegie Steelworks in Homestead, Pennsylvania, and Pinkerton detectives brought in to protect the mill and break the strike. The Pinkertons attempted to get to the plant by barge but were repelled by the strikers from the dock. The strike received international attention, and this illustration appeared in the British weekly newspaper The Graphic on July 30, 1892.
