THE CRIPPLE CREEK STRIKE,
1903 - 1904.
Written by Mrs. Emma F.
Langdon. First edition, published by the Press of the Victor Daily Record,
Victor, Colorado. Typographical Union Victor No. 275. Original brown
cloth with gold print on front cover; 248 pages; complete with all
illustrations.
Inscribed and signed by Langdon on
inner front end-paper.
The first edition of this book is
centered mostly on the Western Federation of Miners' labor strike in Colorado
City and Cripple Creek. The two subsequent editions of this book added
details on the WFM's strike in Telluride and Denver.
Three different cloth bindings have
been noted for the first edition: a) green cloth; b) brown cloth; and, c) blue
cloth. No preferential state has been determined for these various
bindings.
Emma Langdon wrote this book after
her husband, Charles G. Langdon, a linotype operator, was arrested and placed,
along with the rest of the Victor Daily Record staff, in the Goldfield bull
pen. The idea and actuality that the staff of a newspaper could be
arrested for what it printed so enraged Emma Langdon that she became an ardent
spokesperson for the Western Federation of Miners.
Few copies have been noted to be
signed or inscribed by Langdon.
Condition: very good plus; a few
light stain marks on back cover; otherwise, pages are bright and clean.
Price: $2,500.00
