Excerpt from The Pullman Boycott: A Complete History of the Great R. R. Strike While I disclaim any credit for ability as a writer, by years of experience and careful study of the condition of ad'airs as they have in the past and do in the present exist, I profess to be able to fairly present the facts of the Pullman strike. This strike was a matter of unusual interest to me, not alone because my individual interests were involved but because the independence of every man in America who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, was in the balance. The right to organize for mutual protection was questioned, nay more, the right to be heard, a right granted to the greatest criminal in any part of the civilized world, was refused by the power representing the capital of this country. This power fortified by the Federal troops, by the mandate of the Federal courts, instigated by the chief executive, the president of the United States, the account of this strike as presented to the public by the Associated Press, was George M. Pullman's and the General Managers' side of the question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
