review 1: This was a well-written book about the violent railroad strikes of 1877. America was in a Depression after the Civil War and the Railroad Barons had conspired on cutbacks that hurt the little guy. They went too far and the little guy fought back. There are some parallels to today's economic situation. At what point do we break? One per-centers should take heed. This was one of the better Kindle Singles I've read. It fit the smaller format well with a focus on one historical event.
review 2: I probably wouldn't recommend this one and only give it 3 stars. It was about the great railway workers strike of 1877 and how the workers rose up against those in power and the injustices of those with power and money. The only interesting part to me was the fact with our e... moreconomy in its present state, the rates of unemployment along with the great divide between the rich and poor there are scarey similarities. Makes one wonder what sort of upheaval our country will face to turn things around. less
