The Muck Rake: Cumtux?

By Edward Clayson

Book Overview

The Muck Rake: Cumtux? (1908) is a book written by Edward Clayson Sr. The book explores the theme of corruption and greed in American society during the early 20th century. The title is a reference to a tool used to rake up manure and dirt, symbolizing the need for society to clean up the filth and corruption that has infiltrated it. The book follows the story of a young journalist named Cumtux, who becomes disillusioned with the state of American politics and decides to use his platform to expose the corruption he sees around him. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including corrupt politicians, greedy businessmen, and other journalists who are more interested in sensationalism than the truth. The book is a scathing critique of American society and its institutions, and it calls for a return to honesty, integrity, and moral values. Overall, The Muck Rake: Cumtux? is a powerful and thought-provoking work that remains relevant today, as corruption and greed continue to be major issues in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
