The United States Steel Corporation founded Gary in 1906 as an experimentin industrial urban planning, and the inscription on the city's official sealaccordingly proclaims it the "City of the Century." Gary proved to be no more immuneto the woes of industrialization than any other American city, however. To some, infact, it has come to epitomize all that is wrong with contemporary urban life. Butas this book clearly shows, the people of Gary have refused to surrender their senseof hope, their dignity, and their pride to the prophesiers of doom. At once scholarly and colorful, "City of the Century" is anoutgrowth of urban historian James B. Lane's popular weekly columns for the GaryPost-Tribune. Lane uses the oral testimony of the people of Gary to tell afascinating story. There are episodes of personal tragedy and heroism here, offrustrated dreams and tarnished reputations, and of challenges met and obstaclesovercome.
