'''Edward Bellamy''' a socialist author who, under the title of 'nationalism', brought socialism into the United States.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Heath |first1=Frederic |year=1900 |title=Social democracy red book |publisher=Debs publishing Company |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=46A0AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA64 |pages=42 |quote=The American awakening to Socialism began with the appearance of Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward" in 1888, although in 1884 Laurence Gronlund's "Co-operative Commonwealth" was the first book to place the new theory before American readers in a popular way. This had a very fair sale and set many prominent men to thinking along new lines - and among them probably the novelist Edward Bellamy himself. "Looking Backward" was not at all scientific in its conception of Socialism or the probable Socialistic state, but it came as a great message to the American people, nevertheless, and its success was phenomenal. In the succeeding few years over 600,000 copies were sold and for a time it had a record of sales of over 1,000 a day. Still it must be noted that the word Socialism nowhere appeared in the book. Bellamy and his converts at once organized clubs, which, with a cowardice that was perhaps justified, they called Nationalist clubs, and they persisted in calling their Socialism ''Nationalism''.}}</ref>
