Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Industrial Army by Fayette Stratton Giles is a historical novel that delves into the labor movement in the United States during the early 20th century. The story follows the protagonist, Johnnie Stevens, a young man who is drawn into the labor movement after witnessing the exploitation of workers in the textile mills of New England.As Johnnie becomes more involved in the movement, he joins forces with a group of radical labor organizers who are advocating for the creation of an ""industrial army"" - a group of workers who would band together to fight for their rights and demand fair wages and working conditions. The novel explores the challenges that these organizers faced as they tried to build support for their cause, including opposition from powerful business interests and government officials.Throughout the book, Giles paints a vivid picture of the harsh realities of life for workers during this time period, including long hours, dangerous working conditions, and meager pay. He also highlights the bravery and determination of the labor organizers who risked their lives to fight for justice and equality.Overall, The Industrial Army is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on an important chapter in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the labor movement, social justice, or the struggle for workers' rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
