Approximately six million baby boomers, like the narrator, fled the Rust Belt. Another six million remained and stories of their youth, struggles, and aspirations echo throughout this book. Pittsburgh alone attracts die-hard affinity with its scattered natives."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hertneky, Paul. 650 0 $a Iron and steel workers $z Pittsburgh $z Pittsburgh $v Biography. 650 0 $a Students $z Pittsburgh $z Pittsburgh $v Biography. 650 0 $a Baby boom generation $z Pittsburgh $z Pittsburgh $v Biography. 650 0 $a Baby boom generation $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Working class $z Pittsburgh $z Pittsburgh $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Ambridge (Pa.) $v Biography. 651 0 $a Pittsburgh (Pa.) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006095709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68508538C93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
