He becomes involved in a group of socialist activists and quickly rises to become their leader. Davidson's charisma and persuasive rhetoric attract a large following, and the movement gains momentum.However, the authorities become alarmed by the growing influence of the movement and begin to crack down on its members.

And maybe his good looks influenced his new acquaintances in the beginning, even more than they themselves knew.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
