About this book
The Driver, by Garet Garrett, is marked First printing, September, 1922 and Second printing, October, 1922. The contents list names, among others, chapters called The Funk Idol, An Economic Nightmare and A Giant in Baby Sweat. Chapter I, Phantasma, is set on Easter Sunday in the village of Massillon, Stark County, Ohio, in the fourth year of the soft Money Plague, 1894.
The narrator says that Jacob S. Coxey, a horse breeder, quarry owner and crank whom no one had heard of until then, proposed to cure the economic disease then afflicting the country by the simple expedient of hiring all the unemployed on public works. The text says the people at the firm of Mordecai & Co. hardly knew a man by sight, and that he appeared in their office on that hot Summer morning and said simply that he wished to talk Great Midwestern. Mrs. Galt says that they must have a doctor at once. The narrator says he telephoned the family physician to meet them at the Hoboken ferry and that he and Natalie set out to fetch him, a drive of nearly seventy miles there and back.
