Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Chronicling the life and legacy of Illinois governor John P. Altgeld, this book provides a deep dive into the politician's ascent to the office in 1892 and his ensuing influence on state politics. Born to immigrant parents in Germany in 1847, Altgeld immigrated to the U.S. as an infant and went on to become a prominent attorney and advocate for labor and social justice. The book examines Altgeld's record in office, including his controversial decisions to pardon three men convicted in the Haymarket affair and to call out the state militia during a labor strike. Through excerpts from Altgeld's speeches and writings, the author explores the politician's unwavering belief in justice for all and his fierce opposition to corporate greed. This book presents a compelling portrait of a man whose life and work left an enduring mark on the history of Illinois and the United States, making it an invaluable resource for historians and students of American politics.
