This book is a captivating and comprehensive account of the momentous railroad strikes and labor riots that swept across the United States in the summer of 1877. The book delves into the events that sparked the unrest, tracing the origins of the strikes to a decision by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to cut worker wages. The author vividly reconstructs the escalation of the violence, moving from the initial strikes to the full-blown riots that erupted in cities like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and St. Louis. The book places these events within their broader context, examining the growing tensions between labor and capital in the post-Civil War era.
