Calico JesseThe funny part about reading stories from the prohibition era, is they almost always are drinking like it isn’t the prohibition era.Only occasionally does the illegality actually come up.

Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3Good Books Now In The Public DomainIn addition to being the first day of the New Year, January 1 is also known as Public Domain Day, when titles previously under copyright enter the public domain in many countries, including the U.S.This year’s titles include a host of good books by some authors you might have heard of including William Faulkner, Earnest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Dashiell Hammett, Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, Edith Wharton and Mahatma Gandhi among others.Standard EBOOKS is celebrating <a href="https://standardebooks.org/blog/public-domain-day-2025" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">by providing links to twenty of the titles available to download</a> in different formats that should work with most ebook readers.These book titles, were first published in 1929.

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History December 1, 1912: The rustling card system was put into place by the Anaconda Mining and Smelter Company. Rustling cards verified employees’ identities and employment status. The company used spies to identify union agitators and refused them rustling cards and jobs. In 1920, the IWW called a strike at the Anaconda mines around Butte, Montana. They demanded the end of the rustling cards system, and the implementation of the 8-hour day and higher wages. Author Dashiell Hammett served as a Pinkerton strikebreaker in the 1920 Anaconda miners’ strike. However, when the Pinkertons enlisted him to assassinate Native American IWW organizer Frank Little, he refused, and quit the agency. On 4/21/1920, guards opened fire on unarmed picketers, killing one and injuring sixteen, while vigilantes lynched Frank Little. Dashiell Hammett depicted the strike in his first novel, “Red Harvest.” André Gide called Red Harvest “the last word in atrocity, cynicism, and horror.”You can read my biography of Frank Little here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/05/frank-little/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/05/frank-little/</a>You can read my essay on the Pinkertons here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/04/union-busting-by-the-pinkertons/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/04/union-busting-by-the-pinkertons/</a>You can read my biography of Hammett here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/05/dashiell-hammett/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/05/dashiell-hammett/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IWW</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strike</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wages</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unionbusting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unionbusting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/franklittle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#franklittle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/assassination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#assassination</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nativeamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nativeamerican</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dashiellhammett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dashiellhammett</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pinkertons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinkertons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

Jim BlissJust finished watching the 6-part mini-series, Monsieur Spade. As a massive fan of Dashiell Hammett's work, I went in feeling pretty sceptical. But it won me over fairly quickly and in the end I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth a watch.Trigger warnings for violence and a scene of implied sexual assault though.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/MonsieurSpade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MonsieurSpade</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DashiellHammett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DashiellHammett</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SamSpade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SamSpade</a>

Edward ChampionIn rereading Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op stories, I'd say that "The Golden Horseshoe" (one of his best) was the turning point, the moment in which Dashiell Hammett became Dashiell FUCKING Hammett. It is the first of his stories which exquisitely balanced plot and character. At this point, his prose is so taut, muscular, and badass. And I also like the way Hammett lets us inside the Op's contact base. All smiles on this bald man's face right now!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dashiellhammett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dashiellhammett</a>
