1,000th book cataloged on GR! I wanted to read more about labor rights after Kirsten Hannah's Fourth Wind, so I picked this one up. What I didn't know is that it's set in Spokane, WA and the surrounding area, 2 hours from my home! While the use of antiquated language around people groups was obnoxious, I did love the discussion of various POVs on unions.

Historical fiction set in Spokane and the PNW, this is a fascinating look at a time and lifestyle I’ve never learned about. A wild cast of characters and events, heartbreaking prose, and all of it set in the backdrop of my home state. I loved it; morbs, drunks, Wobblies and all.
