Abstract

This article discusses the Triangle Shirtwaist Garment Factory Fire, which occurred near Washington Square in New York City's Greenwich Village on March 25, 1911. The collection of records of attorney Max D. Steuer at the New York County Lawyers Association has proven invaluable to researchers and authors of the fire. The manuscripts give trial details of factory owners Isaac Harris and Max Blanck who were accused of manslaughter and negligence. Books mentioned in the article include "The Triangle Fire," by Leon Stein and "Triangle: The Fire that Changed America," by David Von Drehle.
