The Selected Works of Eugene V. Debs, Vol. I: Building Solidarity on the Tracks, 1877-1892 - Hardcover

by Tim Davenport (Editor), David Walters (Editor)

This is the first in a five volume series that will collect much of trade unionist and Socialist Party founding father Eugene V. Debs' work for the first time in a single place. The collection makes readily accessible approximately 150 documents, only a few of which were ever subsequently republished, by one of the seminal figures in the labor movement of his era. Illuminating 19^th Century labor history, particularly the complex and shifting situation in the transportation industry, this volume provides a basis for deeper understanding of Debs and his role later during the glory days of the Socialist Party of America.
