The Dark Side Of The Beef Trust

The Dark Side of the Beef Trust is a searing indictment of the meatpacking industry at the turn of the 20th century. Written by Herman Hirschauer, a practical butcher, this book exposes the unsanitary and unethical practices that were common in the meatpacking industry at the time. Hirschauer examines the use of dopes and preservatives, the treatment of diseased animals, and the appalling conditions endured by packinghouse workers. A landmark work of investigative journalism, The Dark Side of the Beef Trust remains a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American food industry.
