Place in chronological order these Upton Sinclair novels:
1 - Dragon's Teeth
2 - Dragon Harvest
3 - The Jungle
4 - O Shepherd Speak!
Extra marks for depth of knowledge if anyone knows what the theme of novel #4 is......

Yikes, never read any of his books. Total guess - 4123. I think the Jungle is about meat packing in Chicago but that's about all.

OK so you sow the teeth then you get the harvest. Gotta check the original metaphor...
Jungle is early, the nineteen oughties. A time as possessed by greed as the nineteen eighties.
The other 3 are from the Lanny Budd series of 11 novels which follow world events at a slight distance.
Sinclair's world includes both lots of politics, economic Socialism and Spiritualism.
And so.....
O Shepherd Speak, theme is the wish to get advice from the deceased FDR. I think they get it.
