Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1884. First Edition. Fair. 16mo, 319 pages, olive green cloth, lacks the frontispiece, edgeworn This is the first and only novel by Lincoln's private secretary who later became U. S. Secretary of State. This novel is a reaction to the labor agitation of the 1870s and 1880s. This work reflects the viewpoint of the wealthy class in opposition to the laboring class. This was published anonymously - which provoked a heightened interest in it. Critic Virgil I. Parrington judged this novel as the "first girding of the loins of polite letters to put down the menace that looked out from the underworld of the proletariat." This book edition is slightly changed from its magazine appearance in Century Magazine. Others wrote novels immediately in reaction to this work, leaving this as "perhaps the best-known anti-labor novel in the American literary tradition." - Scott Dalrymple.
