IWW biography: Henry Larson- early Wobbly and socialist in Bellingham:

A new biographical page about Henry Larson (1852-1934) has been added to our IWW history section. Quite the interesting guy- the first IWW Secretary in Bellingham, he studied law under Clarence Darrow, was a political activist in Chicago, and was a defendant in the first criminal syndicalism trial in Washington State. IWW has just found his grave in Ferndale.

Henry Larsoon’s grave marker. The date of birth is incorrect- he was born in 1852 in Chicago.
