About this product

Product Information

Blending fact with fiction, Wallace Stegner retells the story of Joe Hill--the Wobbly bard who became the stuff of legend when, in 1915, he was executed for the alleged murder of a Salt Lake City businessman. Organizer, agitator, "Labor's Songster"--a rebel from the skin inwards, with an absolute faith in the One Big Union--Joe Hill fought tirelessly in the frequently violent battles between organized labor and industry. But though songs and stories still vaunt him, and his legend continues to inspire those who feel the injustices he fought against, Joe Hill may not have been a saintly crusader and may have been motivated by impulses darker than the search for justice. Joe Hill is a full-bodied portrait of both the man and the myth: from his entrance into the short-lived Industrial Workers of the World union, the most militant organization in the history of American labor, to his trial, imprisonment, and final martyrdom. His famous last words: "Don't waste time mourning. Organize." "A genuinely powerful novel of labor as it once was in the U.S." -- San Francisco Chronicle .

  • Labor's message from the past

    A timely review of labor history in this country by an absolutely wonderful author who has been largely forgotten.

  • Revolutionary America

    Joe Hillstrom, aka Joe Hill, was a hero of the radical revolutionary American labor movement, all but forgotten today. The IWW (the Wobblies) looked upon social justice as warfare. Their management opponents reciprocated with a vengence. We forget all too easily how bloody the struggle for workers' rights was in the good old USA. This book belongs with the Molly Maguires, Jacob Riis' How the Other Half Lives, and the story of the Johnstown Flood in reminding us of the deep divide between the have and the have nots in the gilded age of American capitalism. Something that seems particularly timely today.

  • Joe Hill

    Great read early labor strife in America seems like the same issues we have today.
