Printed together for the first time since their original publication in 1903, Ray Stannard Baker’s piece on the coal strike, "The Right to Work"; Lincoln Steffens’ exposé of political corruption, "The Shame of Minneapolis"; and Ida Tarbell’s story of corporate villainy, "The Oil War of 1872"; along with an editorial from S. S. McClure and the narrative of Ellen Fitzpatrick, invite students to explore and understand "muckraking."
"Fitzpatrick’s introductory and concluding essays provide a skillful and effective setting for the three McClure’s articles. She gives the undergraduate…a rich and historically perceptive context for understanding the substance and significance of this early investigative journalism." — Morton Keller, Brandeis University
