Pinkerton, Allan — Strikers, Communists, Tramps and Detectives
New York, G. W. Dillingham, 1900. Later printing. White lettering and medallion on blue cloth. [1], frontis, xii, 412 pp. + adv.[4]. Illus. with b/w drawings. Sm. 8vo. Pinkerton's take on the great strikes of 1877 can be derived from his view of unions: "..trade-unions of every name and nature are but a relic of the old despotic days," and from the books illustrations of rioting strikers and lazy, shiftless tramps. Good ex-lib with usual marks, small tears to head and heel of spine, rubbed boards, rough rear endpaper where pocket was removed, otherwise clean.
