Making Sense of the Molly Maguires
by Kevin Kenny
Soft cover, 336 pages $25
“Kevin Kenny’s . . . book is a story of the hardships of
the mines, of the power of the owners and their paid
police forces, and most especially of the power of
the media to portray the events in such a way as to
inflame persons around the nation. Some will see
them [the Molly Maguires] as brutal terrorists &
others as martyred heroes of the labor movement . .
. - Keith T. Jackson, Columbia University, in a review
of the History Book Club, Jan 1998

The Thomas Munley Story
by H.T. Crown

Thomas Munley was the first Molly convicted in
Schuylkill County. By understanding what happened

of the other [Molly] cases can be gained. Munley’s
situation exemplifies the dangers faced by those on
the bottom of the economic scale when confronting
the justice system, especially when that system is
controlled by the same group controlling the economy
of the region. Sorry Sold Out!
