Print version record.
Ambitious in its historical scope and its broad range of topics, Tied to the Great Packing Machine tells the dramatic story of meatpacking's enormous effects on the economics, culture, and environment of the Midwest over the past century and a half. Wilson Warren situates the history of the industry in both its urban and its rural settings, moving from the huge stockyards of Chicago and Kansas City to today's smaller meatpacking communities, and thus presents a complete portrayal of meatpacking's place within the larger agro-industrial landscape.
