Original autograph document. Signed by most contributors (also referred to as "Social Democratic comrades") in red-ink boxes in the text. Original manuscript by the well-known Liverpudlian socialist Leonard Abbott, a follower of William Morris; published in pamphlet form in the prestigious «International Socialist Review» in July 1901 (pp. 14-20), it was met with public outcry and caused a scandal, as illustrated by Rose L. Martin in her detailed account of the circumstances in which the wedding came about in «Fabian Freeway. High Road to Socialism in the U.S.A. 1884-1966». At the turn of the 19th century, an event shook American society like a powerful earthquake. In the aftermath of the scandalous event, outburst of rage and indignation stirred the country, especially in the most conservative and traditionalist circles. The clergyman, educator, author, and Social Gospel advocate George D. Herron, a married father-of-four, left his lawfully wedded wife Mary out of love for another woman, Carrie A. Rand. The following unconventional union between Herron and Rand took place on May 25, 1901, in a New York apartment under the appellation of socialist wedding. Carrie Rand was the daughter of a lumber baron and banker and Caroline Rand, who donated profusely to Socialists and those who believed in their cause, whose inheritance would later fund and found the Rand School of Social Science in 1906. George D. Herron (1862-1925) was at one time a Christian Socialist minister, a founder of the Rand School of Social Science, a member of the Socialist Party, and the author of books and pamphlets on social and religious issues. Pastor William Franklin Lemmons greatly disapproved of the wedding, as he later wrote in his book «The Evils of Socialism». The binder Helen "Nellie" Gowen Haskell Noyes (1864-1940) was an esteemed American binder, whose lifelong work earned her the Guild of Bookworkers «Lifetime Achievement Award» in 1937. A manuscript book, bound by a great American woman binder, which deals with socialism, universal social and civil rights, as well as the feminist cause. This book symbolises the American fight against the establishment, traditional social and legal norms, and the rule of capitalism. It was the wedding gift that the inner circle of socialist, progressive and anarchist friends ("comrades") of George D. Herron and Carrie Rand Herron crafted on the occasion of their scandalous so-called "socialist wedding," which had to set the standard for the bright future of international socialism that they hoped was nigh. The couple fled the US and took refuge in Italy after their performance of a socialist wedding provoked a storm of criticism and violent personal attacks directed at them.
