The book's title is somewhat misleading, as the focus of the study is the pork packing industry rather than the meat packing industry as a whole.Also, Walsh, while tracing the peculiarities of the meat packirig industry, might have outlined how developments in this one field paralleled developments in industrial enterprises in general, in such features as efficiencies of size, concentration in urban and transportation centers, new technology, assembly-line production, and so on.The book has ninety-two pages of text divided into six chapters, the last of which summarizes what has been said before.An appendix, the copious and detailed notes, and a selected bibliography add nearly as many more pages.Walsh's research has been exhaustive.Twenty-four tables illustrate and validate the author's conclusions.Careful use of biographical material strengthens and enlivens the text.It is unlikely anyone else will replicate Walsh's endeavors or improve upon her general conclusions in the foreseeable future.The book will not attract the casual reader but it is a fine example of scholarship and will be of inestimable value to regional and economic historians
