1819 -- Monarchy for the People!
Emperor Norton I, true ruler of these United States, lives...
& well he lives!
He ate without paying at whatever restaurant, lunchroom,
or saloon took his fancy. Created his own money, which
was honored all over Frisco Bay.
The Emperor called for a world of leisure & creativity, a
country of the mind without borders, in which all were
engaged in their most creative work.
1869 -- Wobbly "Big Bill" Haywood lives, in Salt Lake City, Utah
— where all good Mormons try to emulate him. Industrial Workers
of the World (IWW) honcho.
Carl Sandburg wrote a piece for the "International Socialist
Review" casting IWW leader William "Big Bill" Haywood,
imprisoned along with the rest of the IWW leadership on
wartime sedition charges, as a kind of 20th-century John
Brown, & another piece on Haywood for the "Chicago
Daily News".
