An essay and collection of primary documents on the making of the 1917 film The Spirit of ^76 and the arrest and trial of its producer, Goldstein, for treason. The US government had no use for the glorification of rebellion as it plunged into World War I. Publishes for the first time Goldstein's own 1927 account of the film, the trial, the prison term, and his later suffering. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
