Summary

R. Conrad Stein traces the history of the Pullman Strike from the creation of the Pullman Company to the government efforts that finally ended the strike that affected train service in twenty-seven states. Tracing the efforts of the people involved-from George Pullman to labor leader Eugene Debs, from social worker Jane Addams to President Grover Cleveland-Stein shows how one company's labor action changed the history of the labor movement in America.
