Joseph Rayback's history of the American labor movement.

The History of American Labor delves into the history of labor in America from the colonial days until the mid-1950's. Rayback's work is considered to be a foundational text for any readers of American labor union history.

Consulting a range of legal sources, this text offers a biographical approach to the American president, Martin Van Buren. It examines Van Buren's place in American political and legal history and the development of his ideology as he accepted the key components of liberal republicanism.
