Annals of the Great Strikes in the United States. A Reliable History and Graphic Description of the Causes and Thrilling Events of the Labor Strikes and Riots of 1877
Chicago: L.T. Palmer, 1877. First Edition. Octavo. Publisher’s pictorial cloth boards; (vii), 8-480pp; 11 plates. Mild rubbing to cloth; scattered foxing; early ownership signature. A solidly VG copy, better than usually seen of this rather cheaply-produced book.
