The Lawrence Strike Of 1912 (1912) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161824414)

The Lawrence Strike of 1912 is a historical account of one of the most significant labor strikes in American history. Written by John Bruce McPherson, the book chronicles the events leading up to the strike, the strike itself, and its aftermath. The strike took place in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where textile workers, mostly immigrants, went on strike to protest poor working conditions and low wages. The strike lasted for two months and was marked by violent clashes between the workers and the police. The book provides a detailed analysis of the social, economic, and political factors that led to the strike and its eventual resolution. It also explores the role of the media, the government, and the public in shaping the outcome of the strike. The Lawrence Strike of 1912 is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class Americans and the power of collective action.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
