This chapter takes a look at Sigmund Zeisler, a prominent Chicago attorney and one of the defenders of the anarchists in the Haymarket trial of 1886. Zeisler and Fanny Bloomfield advanced the friendship that had begun in Bielitz and were married in Chicago on October 18, 1885. Zeisler expressed the expectation that Fannie would give up performing when she married or had a child. By adapting to the reality of her wife's ambition and its impact on the potential success of their marriage, Zeisler was articulating a more unconventional and nuanced sensibility. This chapter provides a background on Zeisler's education, his ideas on marriage, and his influence on Fannie, as well as the roots of the Haymarket Riot.Less

This chapter describes Martí’s writing about the waves of immigration that were reaching the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. His chronicles reported on Irish, German, Italian, Scandinavian, Jewish, and Chinese arrivals and told of their problems and prospects. He commented on immigrants and education and the connections between immigration and labor issues. He covered the major labor story of the 1880s, the Haymarket riot in Chicago. In addition to commentary about events and issues, Martí discussed immigrant customs. His reporting on the Chinese in the United States contrasts with his lack of attention to the Chinese presence in Cuba.Less
