Joseph Arch: The Story Of His Life

Joseph Arch: The Story Of His Life is a biography of the famous British agricultural labourer and trade unionist, Joseph Arch. The book is written by Arch himself and provides an in-depth account of his life, from his humble beginnings as a farm labourer to his rise to prominence as a leader in the labour movement. Arch was born in 1826 in a small village in Warwickshire, England. He began working on farms at a young age and quickly became aware of the poor working conditions and low wages that agricultural labourers were subjected to. He became involved in the trade union movement and eventually became the first president of the National Agricultural Labourers' Union in 1872. The book covers Arch's early life, his involvement in the labour movement, and his political career. It also provides insight into the social and economic conditions of rural England during the 19th century. Joseph Arch: The Story Of His Life is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class people in the 19th century and the efforts of those who fought for their rights. It is a must-read for anyone interested in British history, the labour movement, or social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
