DEFENDER OF THE UNDERDOG: Pelham Glassford and the Bonus Army
In 1932, more than twenty thousand mostly homeless WWI veterans trekked to the nation's capital to petition Congress to grant them early payment of a promised bonus. The Hoover Administration urged Washington, DC, police chief Pelham Glassford to forcefully drive this "bonus army" out of the city. Instead, he found food and shelter for the veterans until Congress voted on their request. 16 pages of photos.
