Upton Sinclair was an American author and pioneer of investigative journalism who produced nearly 100 books and other works across a number of genres. He is best known for his classic muckraking novel, The Jungle, which exposed conditions in the U.S. Meat packing industry, causing a public uproar that contributed in part to the passage a few months later of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.
