The saga of the nation's premier
labor leader continues as this multi-volume documentary history moves,
with Volume 6, into the early years of the twentieth century. Fully annotated
and thoroughly indexed, The American Federation of Labor and the Rise
of Progressivism, 1902-1906 provides the historical context often
missing in other works about that era.
From early reviews:
"This collection belongs
on the shelf of anyone teaching American labor history, but it also should
prove useful to scholars with related interests." -- James Grossman,
Illinois Historical Review
