In a time of economic upheaval, as the nation grappled with the aftermath of the 1890s depression, "The Driver" by Garet Garrett captures the fervor of Coxey's Army, a grassroots movement demanding jobs and relief for the common man. This compelling novel intricately weaves the themes of social justice and the struggle for the "commonweal," showcasing the resilience of ordinary citizens in their quest for dignity. With vivid portrayals of the march's leaders and the challenges they faced, Garrett’s work offers a profound exploration of civic activism and the push for unalienable rights. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "The Driver" serves as a poignant reminder of the power of collective action in shaping society's future.
