A massive crowd gathered on Boston Common to see the unemployed depart for Washington in Coxey's army. Miller Swift denounced the wealthy from the bandstand as 85,000 others jeered and pressed forward, breaking the platform fence, while the crowd showed no real support for the movement. Leaders split the delegation for a Roxbury crossing plan, but many queued in Tremont Street to watch the march toward Dedham. The Boston group reached Dedham by evening with a warm reception for the 49 travelers and their leader.
