The Hobo Philosopher,
By
This review is from: History of the Great American Fortunes (Volume One) (Paperback)
This book is documented to the limit and quoted and made reference to by everyone. This is a classic in radical history. It doesn't say anything nice or positive about the Great Wealthy Americans. This book is anti-capitalistic. It is anti-wealthy. It is not spoken of favorably by most established sources - but nobody can deny its research and its facts. If you are a descendant of a DuPont, or a Rockefeller, or a Carnegie, or a Vanderbilt, or J. P. Morgan, or the railroad barons you will not like Gustavus Myers. On the other hand I love this book and think there is probably more facts and truth in this account than you will probably find in most American History books.Myers has written more of the same controversial nature and I intend to get them all. Richard Edward Noble - The Hobo Philosopher - Author of: America On Strike - American Labor History

Wendyviews,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Not at all what I expected. A rambling book which did not delineate or give separate accounts of the individuals that I expected to be reading about. One of the few books that I could not complete reading -- too verbose and uninteresting.
