A proposito d'un regicidio?; Biblioteca "Questione Sociale" Nono Opuscolo [What About a Regicide? Library of "La Questione Sociale," Ninth Pamphlet]. Paterson: Tipo. De "El Despertar," 1900.

This work is of course about Gaetano Bresci, the Italian American silkworker in Paterson who travelled to Italy to assassinate Italian King Umberto, and succeeded in doing so on July 29, 1900. Published in the Biblioteca of the famous Paterson socialist and anarcho-syndicalist newspaper La Questione Sociale (Nono Opuscolo), whose editors over the years included Ludovico Caminita and others in the collection.

Esteve was the foremost Spanish anarchist in America, a charismatic leader whose ability to speak and write in Italian as well as Spanish enabled him to be a leader among Italian American as well as Spanish and Mexican anarchists. He was editor of, among other publications, Cultura Obrera.

Born in Barcelona in 1866, he was married to an Italian wife. Starting in 1892, he was editor of El Despertar, a Spanish anarchist journal in Paterson. He also published a small Spanish anarchist newspaper in Ybor City in Florida, but left when his life was threatened for his activities.

He became secretary of the I.W.W. in New York, to serve the many Spanish sailors and dock workers, but resigned quietly because of disagreements with the organization, whose origins were somewhat to the right of the I.W.W. He held regular meetings of anarchists at his home in Weehawken.
