The Confessions and Autobiography of Harry Orchard is a book written by Harry Orchard in 1907. Orchard was a notorious criminal who was convicted of the assassination of former Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg in 1905. The book is a first-person account of Orchard’s life, including his childhood, his involvement in the Western Federation of Miners, and his role in the assassination of Steunenberg. The book begins with Orchard’s childhood in Ontario, Canada, and his move to the western United States as a young man. Orchard worked as a miner and became involved in the labor movement, eventually joining the Western Federation of Miners. He describes his experiences as a union organizer and his involvement in labor disputes and strikes. The book then turns to Orchard’s involvement in the assassination of Governor Steunenberg. Orchard describes how he was recruited by the leadership of the Western Federation of Miners to carry out the assassination, and how he planned and executed the attack. He also describes his subsequent arrest, trial, and conviction for the crime. Throughout the book, Orchard reflects on his life and his actions, expressing regret for his involvement in the assassination and his other criminal activities. The book provides a unique perspective on the labor movement and criminal activity in the early 20th century, and is a valuable historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
