Overall, Jimmie Higgins is a powerful and thought-provoking work that offers a compelling portrait of the labor movement and the struggles of working-class Americans during a tumultuous period in American history.Jimmie Higgins was beside himself with excitement. He danced about and waved his cap, he shouted himself hoarse, he almost yielded to the impulse to jump upon a pile of lumber and make a speech himself. Presently came Comrades Gerrity and Mary Allen, who had got wind of the trouble, and had loaded a whole edition of the Worker into a Ford; so Jimmie turned newsboy, selling these papers, hundreds of them, until his pockets were bursting with the weight of pennies and nickels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
