== Description ==
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Mahoning Valley in Ohio rose as one of America’s great steel-producing regions. Major companies such as Youngstown Sheet and Tube—founded in 1900 & later the largest corporation in Ohio— along with Republic Steel and U.S. Steel, transformed the valley into a manufacturing powerhouse. The mills ran day & night, their towering smokestacks & glowing furnaces defining the skyline & fueling an industrial boom that shaped daily life for generations. Thousands of residents, including members of my own family, labored in the mills, producing the steel that built our nation and defended it in times of war. Yet alongside this world of heat and clamor, Mill Creek Park—Ohio’s first metropolitan park—offered a peaceful counterpoint, with its natural beauty & quiet standing in stark contrast to the roar of blast furnaces & the thundering of the rolling mills. Forged in Rhythm seeks to capture these dual rhythms of the past—the power of industry and the solace of nature—that together shaped the spirit of the Mahoning Valley.
