"Centralia Dead March is a documentary novel based on the struggle of a radical union to establish better working conditions and solidarity among lumbermen, miners, railroad and migrant workers during the early part of this century. Wesley Everest, Ray Becker, Bert and O. C. Bland, Loren Roberts and Eugene Barnett lived and worked around Centralia, Washington and were active in the Wobblies, the International Workers of the World. Because of its doctrine of worker unity, its stand against racist hiring practices and its call for militant tactics, the I. W. W, the most feared union among the ruling classes, was subject to massive arrests and numerous court actions. When the I. W. W. Led the northwester woods out on strike during the First World War because wages had dropped while production increased, they were branded "traitors" in the local papers. On November 11, 1919, during the first Armistice parade, a mob of Centralia "patriots" raided the union hall. In the conflict, three soldiers were shot by workers defending their property; Everest was beaten, castrated, and hanged from a bridge; and seven workers--including Becker, the Blands, Roberts, and Barnett--were sentenced to from 25 to 40 years. Centralia Dead March recreates these historical events and examines the long-term consequences of the violence and repression." (From Amazon). Very Good .

The front spine joint has some beginning biopredation (bug nibblings -- in this case, with some beginning loss of color to the cloth -- and NO damage to the stability of the book itself. Mostly it looks like the cloth was colored unevenly). The text pages are clean and bright. Endpapers are fully illustrated with maps. This copy has been signed by the author, with a short inscription, on the half title page. The spine ends and corners of the dust jacket have a bit of very light bumping and rubbing. There is some light, but generalized toning to the dust jacket, especially the edges.

There is some light rubbing to the bottom front spine end of the dust jacket and a small chip missing to the top spine end of the dust jacket as well. Overall, a nice clean, bright copy with wear that sounds worse than it looks. "Louis Juchereaus de St. Denis strode through the stormy world of colonial America with the gusto of a man in seven-league boots. His courage won men's admiration and his looks won women's hearts. His name was known from Quebec to Mobile to Mexico City. Shortly after he arrived in Mobile, and saw his plans crushed by a perfidious woman, he took a secret mission to learn how the Spaniards planned to use the vast area they held in what is now Texas." "Paul Iselin Wellman (October 15, 1895 — September 17, 1966) was an American journalist, popular history and novel writer, and screenwriter, known for his books of the Wild West: Kansas, Oklahoma, Great Plains. Hollywood movies Cheyenne, The Walls of Jericho, Jubal, Apache, The Comancheros, and The Iron Mistress are based on Wellman novels.
