Synopsis
Excerpt from The Workers: An Experiment in Reality
The preface to a narrative like this must itself be of the nature of a story which will account for the expedition here described, and make clear the point of view from which the experiment was tried.
Enough of the actual setting of the tale is implied in a passing reference to a charming country-seat on Long Island Sound, and the presence there of a fellow-guest, Mr. Channing F. Meek - a chance acquaintance to me then. His wide knowledge of the West, his intimate familiarity with practical affairs, and his catholic sympathy with human nature, made him a man wholly new and interesting to me. And in our talk, which drifted early into channels of social questions, I could but feel increasingly the difference between my slender, book-learned lore and his vital knowledge of men and the principles by which they live and work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a stirring account of the author's experiences as an undercover manual laborer in the United States in the late 19th century. Seeking to gain a true understanding of the working class, he disguised himself and lived among manual laborers, first as an unskilled worker and then as a hotel porter. The author's vivid descriptions of his experiences offer readers a unique perspective on the lives and struggles of working people during this transformative period in American history. He also provides insights into the growing tensions between the working class and the wealthy elite, and the complex debates about economics, labor, and class during the Gilded Age. Through a series of detailed anecdotes, this book uncovers the harsh realities of working poverty and the complex socio-economic dynamics that characterized the industrial revolution in America. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in labor history or the social conditions of the United States in the late 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
