The Iron Puddler: My Life in the Rolling Mills and What Came of It (Abridged and Annotated)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Forged in the white-hot furnaces of the American 'Iron Age,' James J. Davis rose from a teenage master puddler to the United States Cabinet. In The Iron Puddler, Davis recounts his dramatic journey from a Welsh immigrant boy to the Secretary of Labor in the Warren Harding administration. Known as the 'Napoleon of Fraternity,' he transformed thousands of lives by founding Mooseheart, a 'City of Happy Children' providing fatherless youth with 'a high-school education and a trade.' His 'philosophy of the forge' puddled the impurities of labor into a legacy of brotherhood, paving the way for future leaders like Frances Perkins.
