Book reading and signing for Frank Little and the IWW: The Blood That Stained an American Family by Jane Little Botkin. In her new non-fiction, the author chronicles her great-granduncle’s fascinating life and reveals its connections to the history of American labor and the first Red Scare. Having scoured the West for firsthand sources in family, library, and museum collections, Botkin melds the personal narrative of an American family with the story of the labor movements that once shook the nation to its core. In doing so, she throws into sharp relief the lingering consequences of political repression.

Library Journal Review - "Especially appealing for those interested in the history of the American West and labor history." Foreward Reviews - "Jane Little Botkin's account is, above all, a human story about a man who fought for justice and fair treatment for workers."
