Reviews
This offering from the Code Red series recounts the March 25, 1911, fire that destroyed a New York City clothing manufacturer,^B killing 146 people, most of them young female garment workers. Using a narrative style, Greene explains how the fire started, why so many workers had trouble getting out of the building, and how the blaze was finally brought under control. She also touches on the protests that followed and changes in legislation intended to prevent a repeat of this tragedy. Each double-page spread contains a brief section of text, several captioned illustrations, and a fact box; most also include a primary source quote. Potentially unfamiliar vocabulary words appear in bold print and are defined in the glossary. Other appendixes include profiles of key individuals, bibliographies, and Web links, making this book useful for report writers as well as an enticing pick for browsers drawn by the dramatic subject.
