Compiled Publishings, Pamphlets, and Speeches by the Anti-Imperialist League
As well as the League's publishings, this site is dedicated to providing representations of the League from historians such as Maria Lanzar-Carpio's rare work and the more popular biographers of League members such as Robert Beisner's.
Maria Lanzar-Carpio, The Anti-Imperialist League.
Quite possibly the first historical account of the League, its members, and events. Published as a series over three years it can now be accessed here.
Quotations from Robert Beisner's Twelve Against Empire
Without much argument, the most insightful research into the League's Boston, Mugwump membership is by Robert Beisner in his debut book.
Senator Richard Franklin Pettigrew, Imperial Washington
Pettigrew was a Silver Republican from South Dakota, a boisterous anti-imperialist who wrote extensivly on the evils of plutocracy and the destruction of American ideals.
Morrison Isaac Swift, Imperialism and Liberty
Swift was a political philosopher dubbed both a "genius" and a "lunitic." (See William O. Reichert's article, 'The Melancholy Political Thought of Morrison I. Swift,' The New England Quarterly, Vol. 49, No. 4 [December, 1976])
