Great Railroad Strike of 1877 in Ohio

During the depression of the 1870s, between 1.5 to 2 million men took to the road, and many jumped on freight trains for transport. Considered “tramps,” their numbers were especially high in industrial states like Ohio because of its well-developed railroad routes. This fact came from The Great Railroad Strike in Ohio by this website's creator, Mark Strecker. You can buy it at Amazon or from the History Press.
