4766. A Way of Life Stories from the Yards by Marcia Poole (read 15 Oct 2010) This volume tells of stories which people who were at the Sioux City Stockyards remember of the life there. To anyone who knew the time and place it is full of high interest. Included is an extensive account of the labor strife at the Swift plant in 1938-1939. The book is poignant, since now the stockyards are only a memory, whereas in former years it was the most important place in the City. ( )
