Carpenter, self-taught lawyer, trade union organizer, orator and pamphleteer in the antebellum labor reform movement, was born in Rhode Island, the son of a veteran and pensioner of the Revolutionary War. As a youth Luther received, according to a partly autobiographical pamphlet titled “An Address on the Origin and Progress of Avarice” (1834), only a desultory education in common schools. He spent most of his time working in mills and learning carpentry. At age twenty-two Luther left New England and journeyed through Ohio and down the Mississippi. During his extensive travels Luther learned of social conditions on the frontier, among Indians, and among blacks in slave regions. His experience helped make him a devoted supporter of equal rights for every individual and a vigorous opponent of financial and political oligarchs.
