AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of labor and ethnic conflict in Colorado in the years between 1890 and 1920. Worrall recounts the numerous strikes and the United Mine Workers's struggle to organize workers and fight for an eight-hour day and a ten percent pay raise. She also recounts the lynching of an Italian immigrant in 1892 and the Ludlow Massacre of 1914. In Denver, immigrant families settled along the South Platte River, the Bottoms, where they lived in dismal poverty. Some grew and peddled fruit and vegetables and over time came to dominate Denver's garden marketing sector. Worrall also discusses the influence of early Italian-Catholic leaders.
