Upton Sinclair was a prominent socialist known for his muckraking books revealing the conditions of the poor in the US in the early 1900s. I used his book ‘The Jungle’ as a reference for my book ‘Longing for Home’. My characters work the meatpacking district in Chicago. Stay tuned for more posts about the socialists in the 1900s and the meatpacking industry.
