EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacob S. Coxey, also known as 'General Coxey,' is depicted in this 1914 photograph along with members of his family. Coxey, an American politician, gained notoriety for leading "Coxey's Army," a march of unemployed men to Washington, D.C. The group presented a "Petition in Boots," demanding that Congress allocate funds to create jobs for the unemployed. Coxey is seated in the center of the image, wearing a military-style hat and holding a cane. His wife, Martha Kuntze Coxey, stands beside him, holding their young daughter. Their son, Jake Sechler Coxey, stands behind them, holding the reins of a horse-drawn carriage. A mule is hitched to the carriage, and a sign on the horse reads "Jacob's Ass Day." The photograph was taken by the Harris & Ewing studio, a prominent photographic company in Washington, D.C. at the time. The image captures a significant moment in American history, highlighting the economic struggles and political activism of the early 20th century.
