The response by the miners in a guerrilla war killed 30 strikebreakers, guards, and militiamen along with six mines. The author digs into the causes and consequences that overlay a complex world shaped by land, labor, corporate industrialization, and workers resistance among the emigrants that toiled in the Colorado coalfields.
