Abstract

The Leader of the Wobblies
Shields, Art | July 31, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Bill Haywood's Book. An Autobiography." Bill Haywood's book is not careful history. It rambles and misses significant organization detail. But it achieves a certain historical effect by its sharp close-ups of pioneer life and its fragmentary but dramatic narratives of the Rocky Mountain labor wars. Here are the agony and the thrills of American bull-pens, deportations, bankers' mobs, murder, martial law, and miners striking back.
