THE RIVER SHOOTOUT. 🔫 (Part 2 of 3). When Frick sent 300 armed Pinkerton agents up the Monongahela River on barges, the town of Homestead was waiting. 3,800 workers broke through the fence and engaged in a 12-hour gunfight. They even used a cannon and burning oil to stop the invasion. #BattleOfHomestead #Pinkertons #History #RustBelt #SteelCity
