Description

The famous Wobbly poet, songwriter and organizer was executed in Salt Lake City on Nov. 19,1915. Many felt that he was not guilty of the murder he was charged with, that he did not have a fair trial and tht he was the victim of class persecution. Here the noted American labor historian presents the first complete study of this important labor case. Based on exhaustive research in a wide variety of sources, many never before examined, Dr. Foner conclusively demonstrates that Joe Hill was the victim of a colossal frameup.
