Upton Sinclair
born on september 20th, 1878, in baltimore, maryland, upton sinclair was a “muckraker” (an american journalist or writer who sought out to initiate social and political reforms). he wrote his first book, springtime and harvest, in 1901, which was a story of two lovers, inspired by his first unhappy marrige.
in 1906, sinclair wrote “the jungle,” which was a book to protest the meatpacking industry. he wrote about how a man fell in a meat grinder, but they continued anyway.
he made political, economic, and social changes within his lifetime, as well as write over 90 books!
a complete genius of his time
