Summary

In Bruce Olds's rollicking, epic coming-of-age story, young Franklin Shivs moves from the Wisconsin farm where he was born to turn-of-the-century Chicago. What begins for him there is an education in violence, sex, politics, and philosophy, and before long he is a young journalist caught at the center of a labor war that shaped modern America.
