Download or read book The Great Strikes of 1877 written by David O. Stowell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spectacular example of collective protest, the Great Strike of 1877--actually a sequence of related actions--was America's first national strike and the first major strike against the railroad industry. In some places, non-railroad workers also abandoned city businesses, creating one of the nation's first general strikes. Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of workers, the Great Strikes of 1877 transformed the nation's political landscape, shifting the primary political focus from Reconstruction to labor, capital, and the changing role of the state. Probing essays by distinguished historians explore the social, political, regional, and ethnic landscape of the Great Strikes of 1877: long-term effects on state militias and national guard units; ethnic and class characterization of strikers; pictorial representations of poor laborers in the press; organizational strategies employed by railroad workers; participation by blacks; violence against Chinese immigrants; and the developing tension between capitalism and racial equality in the United States. Contributors: Joshua Brown, Steven J. Hoffman, Michael Kazin, David Miller, Richard Schneirov, David O. Stowell, and Shelton Stromquist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burlington Strike: Its Motives and Methods; Including the Causes of the Strike, Remote and Direct, and the Relations to It, of the Organizations of Locomotive Engineers, Locomotive Firemen, Switchmen's M. A. A He is a man of bone and brawn, equal to the hard est work. He inherits from a robust ancestry great bodily vigor, as well as clearness and accuracy of eye and ear. He reaches a locomotive only after prepara tory years of untiring Study and toil. In his probation he acquires a quickness to detect danger and a prompt ness to avert it. He cannot be an engineer unless he can command his tired nerves to work on in the face of rain and storm, or in defiance of sleet and cold. Higher than commanding the obedience of muscles and nerves, he must know the anatomy of his engine. And the remedy for all its maladies. On his soul is the responsibility for the safetv of the precious freight of hundreds of passengers, and of hundreds of thou sands of dollars. No other calling of civil life records such bravery in the face of peril, or such noble sacri fice of self to save others. The locomotive engineer's craft is the drum over which every band of the coun try's business gains its Speed; it is the master-wheel of the world's progress.

Download or read book Railroaded The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America written by Richard White and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize "A powerful book, crowded with telling details and shrewd observations." —Michael Kazin, New York Times Book Review The transcontinental railroads were the first corporate behemoths. Their attempts to generate profits from proliferating debt sparked devastating economic panics. Their dependence on public largesse drew them into the corridors of power, initiating new forms of corruption. Their operations rearranged space and time, remade the landscape of the West, and opened new ways of life and work. Their discriminatory rates sparked a new antimonopoly politics. The transcontinentals were pivotal actors in the making of modern America, but the triumphal myths of the golden spike, Robber Barons larger than life, and an innovative capitalism all die here. Instead we have a new vision of the Gilded Age, often darkly funny, that shows history to be rooted in failure as well as success.
