Summary:

Upton Sinclair Jr. (1878-1968), was a prolific American author who
wrote over 90 books in many genres and was widely considered to be
one of the best investigators advocating socialist views and
supporting anarchist causes. He achieved considerable popularity in
the first half of the 20th century. He gained particular fame for his
1906 novel The Jungle, which dealt with conditions in the U. S. meat
packing industry and caused a public uproar that partly contributed
to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection
Act in 1906. An early success was the Civil War novel Manassas,
written in 1903 and published a year later. Originally projected as
the opening book of a trilogy, the success of The Jungle caused him
to drop his plans. Sinclair created a socialist commune, named
Helicon Hall Colony, in 1906 with proceeds from his novel The Jungle.
