Assignment:

1. What connections can you make between the life Hayood depicts and his later turn to radical unionism?

2. How does Haywood's portrait of western life in the 1800s compare with popular contemporary images of that world? (Think about how Hollywood portrays the Cowboy).

3. Define Homesteading as described in your Chapter reading, including factors such as the Homestead Act and relative success/fail rates of homesteaders (I am not looking for the Wikipedia/dictionary definiten). How did this way of life work out for western settlers in the 1800's? (Note: This question will rely on the related section in the textbook, not the primary source (Bill Haywood was not a homesteader)).
