Immigrants and Radicals in Duluth: An Historical Investigation.

Abstract

The work undertaken here is part of an ongoing larger study of the history of Duluth, eventually intended to be published in book length form. This larger project is being done by Carl Ross, director of the Minnesota Radicalism Project of the Minnesota Historical Society, and Richard Hudelson of the department of philosophy at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The project has had the support of the Minnesota Historical Society. On the basis of earlier research, Ross and Hudelson had identified a number of research tasks that needed to be completed as part of the larger undertaking. Summarized in this report are the results of preliminary research in a few of these targeted areas. The research work was done by students at UMD with the support of the Center for Community and Regional Research.
