        I'd also suggest Philip Foner's History of the Labor Movement in the United States, Volume I, which starts in colonial times and takes the reader through the immediate postwar period. Great stuff, and cheap at the price:

            I'm still in Vancouver! I would love to see my friends in the State of Jefferson again.
