- Summary:
- Two historians give a sweeping history of working people "as exciting as it is bound to be controversial" (David Montgomery). Long before the American Revolution, a motley crew of sailors, indentured servants, slaves, laborers, and market women had ideas about freedom and equality that would forever change history. "The Many-Headed Hydra" recovers their stories. 50 illustrations.
