Meltzer, Bread-And Roses - The Struggle Of American Labor, 1865-1915

Abstract

As it states on the copyright page, this book was published originally in a different form by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1967. I can recall at the time that I was positively disposed to this text as well as to the entire series edited by John Anthony Scott because the overall theme is the history of the United States "as told by the people who shaped it." By using documentary materials-letters, diaries, newspapers, songs, speeches-connected by a narrative, the Library of American History series and this particular volume, present to the reader a "vivid and exciting portrait" of our history.
