		It was a labor of love to pull together the scant traces of Hill’s itinerant life and to connect them, and the IWW, to much of the radical culture and politics of the 20th century.
		Hill was neither a larger-than-life super-militant nor an itinerant petty criminal; as Rosemont points out, to mystify the organizing role of the modest Hill is to feed into an alienated cult of “leaders” for an organization that prided itself on the anti-demagogic slogan “We are all leaders!”.
