Contempory History, A Century Past,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All That Glitters: Class, Conflict, and Community in Cripple Creek (Working Class in American History) (Paperback)
A book about the history of the Cripple Creek gold mining district's labor wars in Colorado of 100 years ago offers a decidedly contemporary mood amidst the efforts to crush labor unions that runs strong in these times in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and elsewhere.
The book is exceedingly well researched and, although well written, a bit dry. Keep reading, though, as Elizabeth Jameson dug deep into the data - both census, newspaper accounts, personal recollections and other studies. The book is also significant as it addresses issues of racial and ethnic discrimination within the mining communities and offers insights into the roles of women. She presents a very important study of labor history that is often ignored or whitewashed. |
