The Court-Martial of Mother Jones [Paperback]

Edward M. Steel (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This remarkable piece of historical editing holds meaning for scholars of journalism, history, ethics, law, labor, political science, business, and feminism. Widely thought lost or destroyed, the transcript of the military court martial is a compelling addition to the growing supply of historical sources that suggest West Virginia history is in dire need of an overhaul." -- Journal of Appalachian Studies

"Steel's introduction to the transcript is thoughtful, his editing work meticulous. He is to be commended for making this document available to a wide readership." -- Journal of Southern History

"This is far more than simply another book on this remarkable woman. It is a scholarly presentation of an event which demonstrated the raw power of state and industry working in collusion to control labor." -- West Virginia History

"Steel provides a long, thoughtful, and complete introduction to the actual trial itself and the dominant role of Mother Jones in the strikes.... The combination of primary court documents and an introductory essay is a rewarding marriage in this volume." -- Journal of American History
