Upton Beall Sinclair was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and educated at the College of the City of New York and Columbia University. Although he was unsuccessful as a Socialist Party candidate for political office, his vigorous criticism of abuses in American economic and social life helped lay the groundwork for a number of reforms. In the 1920s he helped found the American Civil Liberties Union The author of 90 books, Sinclair became well known after the publication of his novel The Jungle (1906), which exposed the unsanitary and miserable working conditions in the stockyards of Chicago, Illinois, and led to an investigation by the federal government and the subsequent passage of pure food laws. Sinclair wrote other social and political novels and studies advocating prohibition and criticizing the newspaper industry. His well-known series of 11 novels concerned with Lanny Budd, a wealthy American secret agent who participates in important international events, includes

The Jungle was not censored. Sinclair did not revise the text to meet the coercive demands of a commercial publisher. He never wanted the 1905 serial version to become the standard edition. And the novel, as eventually published in book form, has a political message that is perfectly clear. First issued as a book by Doubleday, Page in 1906

47. Heyday Books: The Land Of Orange Groves And Jails: Upton Sinclair’s California Novelist and muckraker upton sinclair will forever be associated with The Jungle, an exposé of Chicago’s meatpacking industry that aimed for their hearts http://www.heydaybooks.com/public/books/logj.html

New at Heyday About Heyday Catalog Magazines ... Back to History of the West History/Political Science Reviews About the Author The Land of Orange Groves and Jails: Edited by Lauren Coodley Trade paper, 232 pages (6 x 9), ISBN: 1-890771-95-3, $16.95 A California Legacy book Novelist and muckraker Upton Sinclair will forever be associated with The Jungle, an exposé of Chicago’s meatpacking industry that "aimed for their hearts and reached their stomachs." However, Sinclair deserves equal accolades for his entertaining critiques of Southern California’s oil industry, movie studios, and urban sprawl—most of which still apply today. The Land of Orange Groves and Jails spans fifty years of Sinclair’s funny and fiery writings. Taken together, these plays, novels, articles, and pamphlets show how Sinclair’s personal life inspired his political activism. When neighbors in Long Beach struck oil, he wrote about the oil industry. His father’s addiction inspired an analysis of alcohol distributors. In 1934, he responded to the Great Depression by running for governor under the EPIC slogan: "End Poverty in California." The hard-fought campaign that followed has parallels to our current political world of vicious attack ads and allegations of voter fraud. Here also was a political figure who understood popular culture better than any of his contemporaries, using movies and the power of Hollywood to give voice to his ideas. Reviews: "Entertaining and instructive, like the demonstrated facts of Sinclair’s equally implausible but real life, so effectively rendered in Coodley’s imaginative anthology."

The land of orange groves and jails Bruce B. Brugmann talks with Lauren Coodley about Upton Sinclair and her anthology of his extraordinary life and times in California Author Lauren Coodley. Courtesy Heyday Books. LAUREN COODLEY HAS performed a timely and valuable public service by restoring Upton Sinclair to his rightful place in California history. Sinclair is famous, but not in California, she says in the introduction to her remarkable anthology. So Coodley, a professor of labor and women's studies at Napa Community College, is demolishing that perception for good with an excellent sampling of his 50 years of passionate living, writing, and advocating in California. The title is The Land of Orange Groves and Jails, a phrase borrowed by Sinclair from the Wobblies during the days of their arrests under California's criminal syndicalism laws. She catches the essence of Sinclair by providing key excerpts from the mountain of books (more than l00, many self-published), plays, letters, and manifestos that stand as his California legacy. Examples: the letter to the Los Angeles police chief after he was arrested for reading the Constitution at a rally defending the Wobblies in the famous dock strike at San Pedro in l923; parts of the famous Lanny Budd series of books written to support President Roosevelt and rouse the public to go to war against Hitler (the best scene: Budd, the anti-fascist spy, talks to William Randolph Hearst in his castle); the pamphlet and songs from Sinclair's dramatic run for governor in l934 with the pledge to end poverty in California (EPIC), the campaign that foreshadowed the New Deal; and a wonderful collection of vintage Sinclairana in historical context.

They had done nothing to deserve it." Appeal to Reason commissioned Upton to write a book about immigrant workers in the Chicago meat packing houses, providing a $500 advance; "The Jungle" was serialized in the magazine in 1905. Several publishers rejected the book, so Upton decided to publish it himself. After a magazine ad brought in 972 pre-publication orders, Doubleday was convinced to publish the book in 1906.

HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... LINKS Sinclair, Upton Biography Upton Beall Sinclair (1878-1968) American novelist, essayist, playwright, and short story writer, whose works reflect socialistic views. Upton Sinclair stated in 1903 that "My Cause is the Cause of a man who has never yet been defeated, and whose whole being is one all devouring, God-given holy purpose". Among Sinclair's most famous books is THE JUNGLE (1906). It launched a government investigation of the meatpacking plants of Chicago, and changed the food laws of America. Sinclair's works are still read, although writers with political and social ideals are not popular in the West - or East. "The line of the buildings stood clear-cut and black against the sky; here and there out of the mass rose the great chimneys, with the river of smoke streaming away to the end of the world. It was a study in colours now, this smoke; in the sunset light it was black and brown and grey and purple. All the sordid questions of the place were gone - in the twilight it was a vision of power. To the two who stood watching while the darkness swallowed it up, it seemed a dream of wonder, with its tale of human energy, of things being done, of employment for thousands upon thousands of men, of opportunity and freedom, of life and love and joy. When they came away, arm in arm, Jurgis was saying, 'Tomorrow I shall go there and get a job!'" (from The Jungle Upton Sinclair was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His family came from the ruined Southern aristocracy. His father, Upton Beall Sinclair, was a liquor salesman and an alcoholic - he drank himself to death. Priscilla Harden, Sinclair's mother, came from a relatively wealthy family - one of her sisters was married to a millionaire. She hated alcohol and did not even drink coffee or tea. When Sinclair was ten, the family moved to New York. His father sold hats and spent his evenings in bars. Later Sinclair said: "...as far back as I can remember, my life was a series of Cinderella transformations; one night I would be sleeping on a vermin-ridden sofa in a lodging house, and the next night under silken coverlets in a fashionable home. It all depended on whether my father had the money for that week's board."
