| Summary: | "The personal memoirs of Tom McEwen are a uniquely eloquent story of the path travelled by a destitute Scottish immigrant blacksmith who rose to become one of Canada's great labor and revolutionary figures. His leadership during some of Canadian labor's most stirring days and mass movements of the '20s and '30s constitute an important part of our history too little told in the 'official' histories. They are at once a source of information for students, scholars, researchers and those engaged in the practical movement today for labor and socialism. The author's own hope is that incomplete and wanting as these pages are, they will nonetheless provide some inspiration to those young people seeking answers to the past, so that they may better serve in the working class and revolutionary movement of today."--Publisher's description |
