Homestead was not heated from the blast furnace. People lived more than a quarter mile, to a mile from them.However, conditions in the mill were said to be the way described. 12 hour days, 7 days a week and loud, smoky, windy, dirty, hot and dangerous-brutal conditions.
I don't know what was worse, wearing minimal clothes in the 120 degree furnace or wearing the three layers of clothes, respirators, hoods, suit. That was the worse part for me.
My grandfather worked in the steel mill from 1913 to 1922 year

And people flocked here to have the work and to pursue the dream. Willingly
It would be nice to watch the video in entirety
My family has a very long history of iron and steel. All of the women in my family iron and all the men steal.

Winters were brutal my ass.
This is a joke. Born and bred here. We are harder than this man makes us out to be.
