Chicago anarchist movement

[which doctor]

I consider the Chicago anarchist movement of the late 19th century to be a such intriguing subject. I love finding out information about it.

Anyone have any good resources for me about it?

There is a new book about the Haymarket riot out. I saw a review for it in the Chicago Tribune magazine and it looked pretty good, and not anti-anarchist. Has anyone read this book before?

Any other good books or websites out there?

FOB, I also am interested in Chicagos radical past.
Have you heard of Johann Most?

I recall hearing that Haymarket was inspired in part by a general strike in Hamilton, Ontario in 1872 for a 9 hour workday. I had no luck finding a satisfactory link though.

In 1969 the Weather Underground movement bombed a statue honouring policemen who were killed during the Haymarket riot.

Also there is a cemetary in Chicago where the Haymarket martyrs are buried which has the graves of Emma Goldman, Big Bill Haywood, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and other radicals of that era.
Its kinda like Americas version of Pere Lachaise cemetary minus the Communards wall.

Hope the above is of some use to you.

Ben Reitman, hobo doctor and lover of Emma Goldman, is also buried near the Haymarket monument

I've heard that many anarchists take a pilgrammage to this cemetary and monument. I've never been there before though. I will be in the city this summer, maybe I can check it out then.

Lucy and Albert Parsons are two "famous" anarchist militants who became "known in Chicago.

Albert was executed after haymarket and lucy continued to organise untill her death.

There is new book out about lucy's life, saw a review of it in the new Northeastern Anarchist (nefac's theory journal). Alo Utah Philips quotes her in one of his CD's.
