[Volume 1, *Building Solidarity on the Tracks, 1877-1892, *is due out in 10 days, Feb. 19 from Haymarket. Volume 2, The Selected Works of Eugene V. Debs Volume, t*he Rise and Fall of the ARU, (1892-1896*) will be out in August or September of this year and Volume 3, *Path to a Socialist Party, 1897-1904*) we think will be out by January of next year.--DW] This marks the beginning of the third year of the Debs project. By now I have the preparation cycle pretty well figured out, kicking off research the first week of February and getting into final compilation and writing mode around the first of August. As I write this I am in a weird place with the project — Volume 1 (*Building Solidarity on the Tracks, 1877-1892*) is still at the printer; Volume 2 (*The Rise and Fall of the ARU, 1892-1896*) is heading for indexing; Volume 3 (*Path to a Socialist Party, 1897-1904*) has an introduction that is still being futzed with… Now here I am simultaneously ready to kick off research and article transcription for the fourth volume, tentatively titled *Red Union, Red Paper, Red Train, 1905-1910.* It seems a little bit scattered having four 750-page books happening at once, eh? ---- *Gene Debs the Subject of New Documentary Film: *Other aspects of the political story [in the film] are overdrawn or wrong, including an over-association of Debs with the Industrial Workers of the World (to the extent of ignoring his endorsement of the anti-syndicalist reaction in the Socialist Party in 1913), a complete failure to mention or explain his 1916 Congressional run, as well as howling errors such as calling defrocked Socialist Congressman Victor L. Berger a pro-WWI “jingoist,” pronouncing the name of Debs’ French-Alsatian father Jean as “JEEN,” and misspelling and mispronouncing the name of Attorney General Harry Daugherty as “Daughtery.” Such errors should not happen in a documentary of this scale.
