"Cy Sulzberger for two years was one of John L. Lewis's reportorial shadows in Washington. He was almost a fixture in the United Mine Workers' offices in the Tower Building. There he listened to many stories about the 'Big Boy.' At press conferences and at informal meetings he heard from Mr. Lewis's own lips something of his life and philosophy.
"The results are set down here in a racy narrative which can be read in a couple of hours. Pretending to no complete evaluation of the C.I.O. chief''s character and his career, the book is nevertheless an interesting sketch of the main outlines of Mr. Lewis's life from his beginning as a simple Iowa mine boy to his national eminence."-- from 1938 book review in the New York Times
From the library of Roscoe and Oletta Proctor.
