Reviews


“For the Love of Murphy’s documents a quintessentially American business, delving into its origins, growth, and ultimate demise, and it will be appreciated by historians and students of business as well as researchers on topics including rural life, women’s studies, World Wars I and II, and labor history.”



—Mary A. Larson, The Oral History Review
