About the author

John Spargo (January 31, 1876 – August 17, 1966) became a renowned expert in the history and crafts of Vermont. Spargo is best remembered as an early biographer of Karl Marx and as one of the leading public intellectuals affiliated with the Socialist Party of America during the progressive era of the early 20th Century.

Spargo's works are split into three "eras": The socialist years; The social democratic years; and Post-radical. In the latter era he worked on local history, including works on local potteries, and biographies.
