The Harbor, by Ernest Pootle, is set amongst the proletariat of the industrial Brooklyn waterfront. Sympathetic with socialism, it is considered one of the first American fictional works to present a positive opinion of trade unions.
His novel His Family made him the first recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel (1918). But according to one commentator: "The consensus is that it's the lesser of the two works, that the Pulitzer committee was really honoring Poole for The Harbor".
