Publisher's Synopsis
This Edition with new Cover-Print.
Marching Men, Anderson's 1917 second novel, is a tale that focuses on the plight of the working man in an industrial society. Like all of Anderson's tales, it's an important social commentary, and not to be overlooked.
"Nothing quite like it has ever been done in America. . . . It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own," wrote H.L. Mencken, speaking of Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio. Anderson, he said, is "America's Most Distinctive Novelist."
