"The volume is packed with living faces; they are there in the air before one in all their delightful homely individuality, their recognizable truth to human nature."--_The Weekly Sun_, London. "This writer at least brings our fellows of the ditch and the woods closer to our sympathies."--_The Dial_, Chicago. "The project itself was a brave one and bravely carried out."--_The Observer_, New York. "The valuable features of the book are the observations of Mr. Wyckoff on the habits of working men, their genuine democracy and the sore temptations which are offered by the saloon to men who have not formed the reading habit, and who have no resources for amusement."--_The Chronicle_, San Francisco. "We regard it as much the most enlightening as well as incomparably the most interesting sociological work of the year."--_The Outlook_, New York. "It is doubtful if a more interesting contribution to social science than this work of Professor Wyckoff's has ever been written."--_The Interior_, Chicago. The Workers--The West By WALTER A. WYCKOFF With 32 full-page Illustrations by W. R. Leigh 12mo, $1.50 _CONTENTS:--In the Army of the Unemployed (Chicago)--A Factory Hand--Among the Revolutionaries--A Road-Builder of the World's Fair Grounds--From Chicago to Denver--A Burro Puncher on the Plains._ In this volume Mr. Wyckoff continues his "experiment in reality" in the crowded labor-market of Chicago. He suffers with the lowest classes of the unemployed, and works himself to a better condition; he studies organized labor in a great factory; he analyzes social discontent with the anarchists; and he works his way to the Pacific coast through the great wheat farms, toils in deep mines, and drives a burro across the desolate plains. This closes one of the most romantic narratives ever written by a scholar, and one of the most valuable to all classes. It is a contribution to the study of humanity. "Nobody could read the present instalment of 'The Workers' in the West without feeling as never before the reality of the suffering which night after night and day after day, faces thousands upon thousands of homeless, hopeless working men in the great cities of our 'prosperous' country."--_The Commons_, Chicago. "The story is Dantesque in its realism, for it is the realest of the horrible real that it tells of."--_The City and State_, Philadelphia. "Mr. Leigh's illustrations could not be improved; they are simply perfect. We believe the American public is following Mr. Wyckoff's papers with intense interest, for they get right down to life as no previous study of this kind has done."--_The Homestead_, Springfield, Mass. "These are unique sociological studies, in the nature of what may be called laboratory work."--_The Watchman_, Boston.
