      abstract = {The 1912 textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts was a  watershed moment in labor history as significant as the  Haymarket bombing in Chicago and the Triangle fire in New  York. In a history with the narrative drive of a novel,  journalist Watson provides the first full-length account of  the strike that began when textile workers stormed out of  the mills on a frigid January day. Despite owners'  predictions to the contrary, the walkout soon became a  protracted Dickensian drama that included 23,000 strikers  from fifty-one nations singing as they paraded through  Lawrence, bayonet-toting militiamen patrolling the streets,  and the daring evacuation of the strikers' tattered and  hungry children to Manhattan, where they lived with  strangers and wrote loving letters to their parents on the  picket line.--From publisher description.},
