Originally published in 1942, The Valley of Decision was an instant success, and its story of four generations of the Scott family—owners and operators of a Pittsburgh iron and steel works—has since captured the imagination of generations of readers. Absorbing and complex, it chronicles the family’s saga from the economic panic of 1873 through the dramatic rise of American industry and trade unionism, through waves of immigration, class conflict, natural disaster, World War I, and Pearl Harbor. In 1945 it was made into a major motion picture starring Greer Garson and Gregory Peck. This reissue features a new foreword by noted steel industry historian John Hoerr, author of And the Wolf Finally Came, who places the novel in context as a classic depiction of twentieth-century America. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. The novel is set in Pittsburgh but, as The Saturday Review of Literatures commented, it is 'a cavalcade of America, industrially, socially, and domestically.'

On the eve of World War II writer Marcia Davenport, best known for her biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, spent several years in Pittsburgh, her imagination caught by the drama of American industry. In 1942, Charles Scribner's sons published her Pittsburgh novel, The Valley of Decision . It was an instant success, and its story of four generations of the Scott family - owners and operators of a Pittsburgh iron and steel works - has captured the imagination of three generations of readers. The story is absorbing and complex, chronicling the family fortunes from the economic panic of 1873 through the dramatic rise of American industry and trade unionism, though waves of immigration, class conflict, natural disaster, World War I, to Pearl Harbor. The first portion of the narrative covers the period 1873-83, when ironmaster William Scott, founder of the Scott Iron Works, marched with American industrial progress and died at the hands of union agitators. The second section covers 1889-1929 and his son Paul, who inherits the mills and manages them well, embracing technology, the demands of the first World War, and an enlightened view of labor. Part Three (1933-41) is the book of Claire, great-granddaughter of William. Energetic, responsible, and worldy-wise, she

  • PITTSBURGH: SEVEN AUTHORS, SEVEN VIEWS Margaret Hodges
    PITTSBURGH: SEVEN AUTHORS, SEVEN VIEWS Margaret Hodges was delighted when itwas suggested that Imight look into the sub- Iject of "some Pittsburgh authors," and Iaccepted the invitation at once. But Iwas soon reminded of a story told by Frances Lester Warner, a Pittsburgh author, about a big kettle which had just been emptied of four quarts of clam chowder. A small kitten jumped into the kettle, which still had a few flavorful licks left init. Then, someone came into the kitchen, saw the kitten in the kettle, and exclaimed, "Oh! this kitten has eaten up four quarts of chowder !" Moral :The fact that one is found running around in a great subject is no sign that one has absorbed itall. Inthat one respect, Iam like the kitten. Anyone who goes to the Pennsylvania Room at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, as Idid, to enquire about Pittsburgh authors willfind itis indeed a great subject. Ihave merely been running around init. And Ihave the disadvantage of not being a Pittsburgher. True, Ihave lived here for thirty-five years, but that does not make me "a real Pittsburgher/' as many in this audience well know. "Old Pittsburgher," says Frances Lester Warner, is "a title that cannot be won in a lifetime, but must come down as an heirloom from one's clan, along withtraditions of the days when Alexander Negley had his homestead and pastures at Highland Park, when Panther Hollow was really panther hollow, when Schenley Farms were really farms, and Shady Avenue still was Shady Lane; of days before Stephen Foster wrote 'Suwanee Ribber/ when the Southern planters used to come in their luxurious boats up the Ohio and sit in the windows of the Monongahela House to watch the river- traffic going by.

  • Jan Masaryk, As Seen Through the Eyes of Marcia Davenport Vladimira Williams, Morton College, Cicero, Illinois
    Selected Papers from the 2003 SVU North American Conference, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 26-28 June 2003 Jan Masaryk, As Seen Through the Eyes of Marcia Davenport Vladimira Williams, Morton College, Cicero, Illinois Introduction This presentation is intended to illustrate Jan Masaryk’s earlier life, up to his death in 1948 by suicide or, probably, murder. It does not dwell on the post-war era in which, for forty years, Czechoslovakia was held hostage by the Communist regime. This period is best described by historians who can weigh the circumstances of life under the Soviet regime. A full account of the political machinery existing at that time in Czechoslovakia was also described by the author, Marcia Davenport in her moving book, Too Strong for Fantasy. Jan Masaryk Marcia Davenport, the well-known American author whose novels were translated into several languages, discovered Czechoslovakia while she was in Europe gathering material for a biography of Mozart. It was during the 1930s that she visited Prague and fell in love with the city, as well as with the Czech people. Following the Munich incident and the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939, she became even more enamored with the country and vowed to help its people as much as possible. It was then that she wrote her compelling novel, The Valley of Decision, in which she describes the tragedy of Czechoslovakia. During this time, the Czech Foreign Minister, Jan Masaryk, was already known by the New York society, although Marcia Davenport had not actually met him until some years later. Their first meeting was in November 1941, only a few weeks before Pearl Harbor, when Marcia was introduced to Jan by a mutual friend.
