Publisher's Synopsis
The Pullman Boycott: A Complete History Of The Great R. R. Strike (1894) is a historical book written by W. F. Burns. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Pullman Strike of 1894, which was a major labor dispute in the United States. The strike was initiated by the American Railway Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, against the Pullman Palace Car Company, which was accused of unfair labor practices and wage cuts. The strike quickly spread across the country, paralyzing the railroad industry and leading to a violent confrontation between the strikers and the government. The book chronicles the events leading up to the strike, the strike itself, and its aftermath, including the legal and political battles that ensued. It also provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the time, and the role of labor unions in shaping American history. The Pullman Boycott is an important historical account of a significant event in American labor history, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the labor movement in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
