From School Library Journal
Grade 5-7-- The tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory fire that occurred in New York City on March 25, 1911 is recalled in dramatic "you were there" style. This is a graphic account of the disaster in which 146 factory workers died as they tried to escape from a burning garment factory that was inadequately prepared for such an emergency. There are descriptions of broken bodies hitting the sidewalk, blood running in the gutters, etc.; the historical impact seems somewhat lost in the emphasis on the horror of the disaster. Photographs in black-and-white and sepia tones of the interiors of garment factories in the early 20th century and at the scene of the fire add authenticity to the text. The majority of the book focuses on the actual disaster and concludes with the historical significance of this particular fire in the establishment of new labor laws and stricter safety regulations for factory workers throughout the United States. While few available resources on this topic exist for middle-grade students, the lack of an index or bibliography combined with the brevity of information regarding factory safety reform will confine the use of this book to a limited audience. --Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elem . School, Glen Rock, NJ
