George Brown, The Cobbler Anarchist Of Philadelphia (anarchist Library)

Bob Helms traces the life of an anarchist shoemaker from freethinking Northamptonshire to Philadelphia's burgeoning anarchist movement of the 1890s. Never famous, and only occasionally infamous, Brown was typical of many of the militants who made the movement what it was, and his story sheds a fascinating light on the microcosm of a social movement.
