The Immigration of Glassworkers to Steuben

Gardner writes that Carder “quietly arranged” for glassworkers to come from the Stourbridge district of England to America and that they were “denied admission” and deported. The details of this venture were largely unknown. James Measell has used contemporary newspaper coverage in Britain and the United States along with documents from the archives of the American Flint Glass Workers Union to provide the full story of this remarkable episode.
