Coxey and Army Here Next Week
Jacob Coxey leads a growing but thinning group on a second march to Washington. From Massillon Ohio on April 16 with about 200 recruits, the caravan reached Grantsville Maryland and planned to reach Frostburg. Coxey rides in a phaeton with his wife while the army follows, a pony-riding son bringing up the rear with reporters. The banner proclaims Jobless and Mortgaged and the army plans to live off the countryside with no commissary.
