Publisher's Synopsis
""The Chicago Martyrs"" is a book that captures the famous speeches of the eight anarchists who were tried in Judge Gary's court from October 7-9, 1886. The author, John Peter Altgeld, presents a complete and detailed account of the trial proceedings and the speeches delivered by the accused. The book sheds light on the events that led to the trial, the political climate of the time, and the ideologies of the anarchists. Altgeld's writing is powerful and persuasive, and he provides a compelling argument for the innocence of the accused. The book is an important historical document that offers insight into the struggles of the working class and the fight for justice in America during the late 19th century.
