Chief O'Neill's Sketchy Recollections of an Eventful Life in Chicago

Francis O'Neill left Ireland in 1865. After five years traveling the world as a sailor, he and his family settled in Chicago, just shortly before the Great Fire of 1871. Looking back on his life, he gives first-hand accounts of the Pullman strike of 1894, the railway strike of 1903, and the packinghouse strike of 1904.
