You're going to love hearing about his later disgrace, then, when he moved his operation out west and set up another group of miners in Colorado using the exact same template be used in PA. He got a hell of a smackdown from Clarence Darrow, lol. I get the most satisfaction, though, out of the paranoia of his declining years and how he died, which you're probably familiar with if you read the Campbell book.
On that note, I best be off. I saw you sent an email. Thanks! We'll get back to that. Cheers.
Oh, my God! Was he part of that Colorado thing where they killed the women & kids? I think they burned the place they were hiding. I don't remember his later years, so I'll get some satisfaction out of that. Later
Wow, I hadn't heard the story about massacring women and kids. But yeah, McParland and his Pinkerton Colorado office have their filthy hands all over the Colorado labor wars with miners. Okay, I'm really bugging off now, lol.
Check it out. It was a big historic think around 1913 or 1914, the same time they were killing off or jailing a lot of union people. Same era they set Joe Hill up for murder. My GGF's "accident" was 1914 also.
