In the spring of 1922, the United Mine Workers of America announced
a national strike. And then, that summer in Herrin, Illinois, 23
people were murdered over two days. Men, women, and children came
out of their houses to watch, and in some cases, to take part in
the violence. Scott Doody’s book is Herrin Massacre. Special thanks
to the Special Collections Research Center at Southern Illinois
University, Carbondale, and Matt Gorzalski, and to John Griswold,
who wrote Herrin: The Brief History of an Infamous American City.
