A hotbed for socialism during the mining era, Girard was the home to Julius Wayland and E. Haldeman-Julius's Appeal to Reason, then the largest socialist periodical in the country. Haldeman-Julius also created the Little Blue Books, small paperback books that made literature available to the masses at a cheap price - a venture that landed him on the FBI's "enemies list."
