Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Labor and Freedom: The Voice and Pen of Eugene V. Debs
And then he told me the melancholy story of his Own persecution and suffering after the strike. His job was gone and his name was on the black list. Five jobs he secured under assumed names were lost to him as soon as he was found out.
Poverty began to harass him. He picked up odd jobs and when he managed to get a dollar ahead he sent it to his family. His aged mother died of privation and worry and his wife soon followed her to the grave. Two boys were left, but what ever became of them and whether they are now alive or dead, he could never learn.
The old fellow grew serious and a melancholy sigh escaped him. But he was not bitter. He bore no malice toward any one. He had suffered much, but he had kept the faith, and his regrets were at least free from reproach.
