THE HAYWOOD CASE Materials for Analysis

Softcover. The Materials for Analysis presented in this volume involve fugitive data delineating one of the USA's most dramatic courtroom episodes. The case of the State of Idaho v. William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood is as much part of American folklore as of history, for the collision of forces in Boise, 1907, spellbound the entire nation and aroused the most incendiary passions of politicians and proletarians alike. Seldom in the history of American labour have the differences between management and employees been so dramatically emphasised and so sharply focused as during the period following the surreptitious removal of William D. Haywood, Charles H. Moyer, and George Pettibone from Denver, Colorado, to Boise, Idaho, for trial for the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho. The complex, legal, social, political and economic issues raised during this episode were still vital in any discussion of industrial history, radical labour movements, or the American West.
