Caption: The Rioters' Railroad To Ruin

Source/Date: Puck, August 1, 1877

Ultimate Source(if different):

Creator: Unknown (Matt Morgan?)

Remarks: The great rail strike of 1877 scared the middle classes as this especially foreboding cartoon suggests. While the artist is unknown, the image looks much like "The American Juggernaut," done by Matt Morgan in Frank Leslie's Budget of Fun, April 1873 and on this site under Political Influence.
