Children of the Dead End is an autobiographical book written by Patrick MacGill, published in 1914. The book tells the story of MacGill's life as a navvy, or manual laborer, in Scotland and England during the early 20th century. MacGill describes the harsh and dangerous conditions of the work he and his fellow navvies endured while building roads, railways, and canals. He also portrays the poverty and deprivation that he and his family experienced growing up in rural Ireland. Despite the hardships, MacGill's narrative is one of resilience, as he shares his determination to rise above his circumstances and make a better life for himself. The book provides a unique perspective on the working-class experience in early 20th century Britain and Ireland, and is considered a classic of working-class literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
