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

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!
