Pulitzer Prize winner Upton Sinclair wrote this fascinating non-fiction epistolary to Judd, an old carpenter who has done odd jobs in his place for a decade. Sinclair uses his letter format to talk about the hardships experienced by the working class, from the backbreaking labor to the low wages and contrasts their life to ones lived by the captains of the industry.
