Inktober Day 7: born on this day in 1879, cartoonist-poet and labor organizer Joe Hill.
My wife Liz was born into a mining family on her dad's side, and were in not for the safety measure forced on the companies by Hill and his ilk there's always the chance that she might never have been born, so from a purely personal standpoint I'm mighty grateful.
(As fun as those posters are/have been, they take too long and have been distracting me from "real" work I need to be doing. So for the rest of the month, I'll do a "this day in history" without the oppressive burden of researching and writing a biographical essay. I'm usually wont to do that, which is why my historical figure posts become infrequent... too much pressure on the essay end.)
