Premium 40 - Novels as Spycraft 7 - Dashiell Hammett part 1: Pinkerton Op, the Copper Wars, and the Murder of Frank Little
Manage episode 416554002 series 2949117
[originally published on Patreon Nov 1, 2022]
Today's the first of two episodes on the hardboiled novelist Dashiell Hammett. Today I go through the first half of Hammett's life, including his early life and family history, his time as a Pinkerton operative, and what being a Pinkerton op entailed. I discuss the Mining Wars and tell the story of Frank Little, an IWW organizer. I finish the episode with a discussion of the novel, Red Harvest.
Note: the Hammett episodes are, I believe, the last episodes with annoying sound quality issues, for which I apologize.
Songs:
There is Power in a Union by Utah Phillips
The Ballad of Frank Little by Dusty the Kid
