Today in Labor History June 21, 1877: Ten Irish miners, all union activists & allegedly members of the terrorist Molly Maguires, were hanged in Pennsylvania in The Day of the Rope. It was the second largest mass execution in U.S. history. (The largest was in 1862, when the U.S. government executed 38 Dakota warriors). However, most of the evidence, including claims of membership in the Molly Maguires, came from an agent provocateur, James McParland, who worked for the Pinkertons, on behalf of the mine owners, and who helped plan and carry out many of the murders that were blamed on miners. Nearly everything people “know” today about the Molly Maguires comes from Allan Pinkerton’s work of fiction, “The Molly Maguires and the Detectives” (1877), which he marketed as nonfiction. His heavily biased book was the primary source for dozens of academic works, and for several pieces of fiction, including Arthur Conan Doyle’s final Sherlock Holmes novel, “Valley of Fear” (1915), and the 1970 Sean Connery film, “Molly Maguires.” McParland later helped frame Big Bill Haywood for the murder of Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg. And he was the lead Pinkerton during the Colorado Labor Wars (1903-1904), when scores of union miners were beaten, imprisoned, deported, and/or murdered. McParland and the Molly Maguires play prominently in my novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” and in the sequel, “Red Hot Summer in the Big Smoke,” which I’m currently working on.
