Southwestern Pennsylvania. The steel making capital of the world for more than 100 years. A region built from pig iron and slag - steaming with blast furnaces, pump houses and rolling mills.

But this is a region - and a story - that documents more than the strength of steel. This is about the fragile human fabric that gave it life. For this is the story of the people who lived here, who raised entire communities in the steep hills that peered down into the mills. It's about entire generations of men and women whose tireless efforts literally built the nation: the Brooklyn Bridge - the Empire State Building - the armaments that helped America fight the evils of tyranny.

This is about a region that influenced not only the country, but also the world.

It is not a story for the history books. It is a story that lives today - in books, in art, on film and in song. It is a story of a shared past and future forged from steel.

It is a story Born of Fire.
Enjoy the journey.
