EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Montgomery, William W. Coxey, Jacob 'General' Part of His 'Army'," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in 1914. The image features William W. Montgomery, a member of Jacob Coxey's Army, standing tall and proud while holding a copy of Coxey's autobiography, "Coxey: His Own Story." Jacob Coxey, an Ohio businessman, led a protest march on Washington, D.C. in 1894, accompanied by an army of unemployed workers. Known as Coxey's Army, the group aimed to bring attention to the economic hardships faced by the working class during the Great Depression of the 1890s. Montgomery, dressed in a simple workman's outfit, gazes intently at the camera with a determined expression. The photograph captures the essence of the movement and the resolve of its members. The backdrop of the image is a barren landscape, emphasizing the desperation and struggle of the time. Martha Ewing, an employee of Harris & Ewing, is credited as the photographer of this image. Her husband, George H. Harris, was a co-founder of the studio, which became a leading provider of photographic services in Washington, D.C. during the early 20th century. This photograph is an important historical document, providing a visual record of a significant moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of the perseverance and determination of the working class during times of economic hardship and the power of collective action to bring about change.
