Reviews

This first of a projected 12-volume series brings together a wealth of documentary material concerning one of the most controversial figures in American labor history. Because this volume focuses on Gompers's life up to the founding of the AFL, a period when information is scarce, the documents brought together herenot only from union archives but also labor periodicals, government re ports, and newspapershelp fill gaps in the history of those years, and achieve the editors' goal to "capture the politi cal, intellectual, social and industrial cli mate" facing the 19th-century Ameri can working class. A major reference work for American labor history, and a recommended purchase for academic li braries. John R. Sillito, Weber State Coll. Lib., Ogden, Utah
