Talk:Thomas A. Scott

Add a Section on Railroad Strike of 1877 ?
I'm considering adding a section on Scott's role in the railroad strike of 1877, considering that this article already has sections on the Civil War, Reconstruction, etc, I feel it would be only logical.

In particular there's one quote of him saying that the strikes should be given the "rifle diet" for a few days, so they can see how they "like that bread".

more work needed
I performed some cleanup of this article while waiting for a computer to update, and today while waiting for ice to melt and a car windshield treatment to dry. However, it needs considerable more work. For example, his widow is mentioned at the end, but never named (nor is his marriage mentioned). Frankly, I would prefer the article to be more than an advertisement for books listed in the bibliography (but which may well never have been consulted: Jweaver28 (talk) 20:17, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Scottdale Pennsylvania
Our town celebrating 150 years incorporated in 1874. Prior to that year our town was known as Fountain Mills. According to our historian the town was renamed after him when he brought a spur of the railroad through town. It has remained a railroad town ever since with the SWP (Southwest Pennsylvania railroad) here now. Do you have any collaboration on this we can share with the 150th committee?
