QR code
"Tom Grogan" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel published in 1896. When a stevedore dies, his widow conceals his death and assumes his name and business to support her family. Now known as Tom Grogan, this capable Irishwoman runs the operation with growing success, triggering jealous opposition from rival stevedores and union delegates. They resort to contemptible tactics—blackmail, arson, and even attempted murder—to destroy her. The bestselling novel of 1896 portrays
a heroic soul beneath an uncouth exterior, balancing mannish labor with a mother's tender heart. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
