The best single book on the Pullman Strike is David Ray Papke, The Pullman Case: The Clash of Labor and Capital in Industrial America (1999). George M. Pullman’s life is treated in Liston E. Leyendecker, Palace Car Prince: A Biography of George Mortimer Pullman (1992); and the company town he built is discussed in Stanley Buder, Pullman: An Experiment in Industrial Order and Community Planning, 1880–1930 (1967). Two valuable biographies of Debs are Ray Ginger, Eugène V. Debs: A Biography (1970, originally published as The Bending Cross, a Biography of Eugene Victor Debs); and Nick Salvatore, Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist, 2nd ed. (2007, originally published 1982). The labour troubles of the period are examined in many works; especially good is Gerald G. Eggert, Railroad Labor Disputes: The Beginnings of Federal Strike Policy (1967). An enormous amount of primary material is contained in Carrol Davidson Wright, Report on the Chicago Strike of June–July, 1894 (1895), written under the auspices of the United States Strike Commission.
