"The Pullman Boycott: A Complete History of the R.R. Strike" by W. F. Burns is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book documents the significant Pullman strike, exploring the circumstances that led to it, the people involved, primarily focusing on railroad workers and the role of union leader Eugene V. Debs. It is likely aimed at informing readers about the struggles of laborers during a turbulent time in America's industrial history. At the start of the text, Burns introduces his motivations for writing this account, emphasizing his background as a switchman and his deep understanding of the labor disputes in the railway industry. He recounts the establishment of the American Railway Union led by Debs, highlighting the dire conditions faced by Pullman workers, which ultimately culminated in the strike. The opening portion sets the stage for an exploration of complex interactions between labor, management, and the federal government, as well as the fight for workers' rights within the context of widespread economic inequalities.
