- Chelsea, MA: Road to Freedom Group, (1927)
Chelsea, MA: Road to Freedom Group, (1927). First Edition. Octavo. Staple-bound pamphlet. Printed red thick-paper wrappers; 38pp. Signed in type at close of text, "Bartolomeo Vanzetti." Mild toning to wrapper edges, else a tight, clean copy, solidly Very Good.
A summary of the trial, written by Vanzetti in an attempt to win public sentiment and raise funds for his and Sacco's defense. Published by a Boston group calling itself the "Road to Freedom Group," presumably an offshoot of the New York group of the same name, which was organized around Hippolyte Havel's anarchist journal, The Road to Freedom, which was established in the same year of publication as this pamphlet (1927) and is considered by many to have been a continuation of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth.
