Children of the Dead End: The Autobiography of a Navvy is a memoir written by Patrick MacGill and published in 1914. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of MacGill's life as a navvy, a manual laborer who worked on the construction of roads, railways, and canals in Scotland and England in the early 20th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which describes a different aspect of MacGill's life as a navvy. He writes about the harsh living conditions, the backbreaking work, the camaraderie among the workers, and the struggles and triumphs of everyday life. MacGill's writing is characterized by its rawness and authenticity, as he writes from his own personal experiences. He also provides a glimpse into the social and economic conditions of the time, as well as the impact of industrialization on the lives of working-class people. Overall, Children of the Dead End is a powerful and moving account of a life lived on the margins of society, and a testament to the resilience and spirit of the human soul.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
