New Arrivals: An attractive copy of MCKINLEY’S ASSASSINATION FROM THE ANARCHIST PERSPECTIVE (ca.1907), by Voltairine De Cleyre.
Brief essay on the mental and moral nature of both William McKinley and his assassin Leon Czolgosz, asking the question: “who was the martyr: McKinley or Czolgosz?”. Separate edition of an essay which originally appeared in the October, 1907 issue of Mother Earth. This is presumably the same leaflet that is noted by detective Louis Dolmas as having been distributed at a Boston lecture by Emma Goldman, titled “Direct Action as the Logical Tactic of Anarchism,” in November of 1907 (see Falk, Emma Goldman: A Documentary History of the American Years, v.1 p.258). Rare.
