Description: Complete original 1909 Magazine Article including all text and photographs taken by Lewis W. Hine, on assignment for the National Child Labor Committee. This 13-page article with over 25 riveting photographs laid bare the pervasive use of child labor in Southern and Appalachian mills and mines and helped spur changes in U.S. labor law. The exceptional photographs show children as young as 5-7 years old performing grueling often dangerous tasks, some requiring considerable skill, some under cover of night, all for just pennies a day. Hard to believe this was going on in the "land of the free". Heart wrenching introduction by Charles Edward Russell, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and activist. Monumental social history content - a must for anyone interested in turn-of-the-century U.S. labor history as well as documentary photography. Many of the photos are of museum quality.
