Download or read book Making Sense of the Molly Maguires written by Kevin Kenny and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty Irish immigrants, suspected of belonging to a secret terrorist organization called the Molly Maguires, were executed in Pennsylvania in the 1870s for the murder of sixteen men. Ever since, there has been enormous disagreement over who the Molly Maguires were, what they did, and why they did it, as virtually everything we now know about the Molly Maguires is based on the hostile descriptions of their contemporaries. Arguing that such sources are inadequate to serve as the basis for a factual narrative, Kevin Kenny examines the ideology behind contemporary evidence to explain how and why a particular meaning came to be associated with the Molly Maguires in Ireland and Pennsylvania. At the same time, this work examines new archival evidence from Ireland that establishes that the American Molly Maguires were a rare transatlantic strand of the violent protest endemic in the Irish countryside. Combining social and cultural history, Making Sense of the Molly Maguires offers a new explanation of who the Molly Maguires were, as well as why people wrote and believed such curious things about them. In the process, it vividly retells one of the classic stories of American labor and immigration. In the twenty-fifth anniversary edition, a new preface reflects on the original work, immigration and labor history today, and the enduring memory of the Molly Maguires in American popular culture.

Ik Your Honors Please, And Gentlemen Of The Jury.--It is now very nearly three o'clock, but I propose to go on with my remarks to you, rather than have an adjournment, and probably the case go over to' next week. You, the counsel, and the Court are anxious to bring this trial to a conclusion as soon as may be possible, and, therefore, I shall present such argument as I may be able, before the Court rises this afternoon. You have learned during this trial that there is and has been an organization which has been a terror to this community, which has imperiled life all over the coal region, and which for many years has perpetrated crimes, and has been able to escape punishment. It has performed its work secretly and clandestinely, but very successfully and powerfully. Men were murdered, property was destroyed, lives were threatened, and all kinds of violence and outrage have been committed in this and adjoining counties, and the offenders have escaped trial and punishment. Thisjvas owing to the fact of the organization being oath-bound, with a view of shielding the guilty. The members of it committed crime not as people usually do who have any grievances to avenge. The man who had a supposed wrong to avenge did not seek redress directly himself, but rather through the agencies and power of the organization known as the Mollie Maguires. He could make a requisition upon an adjoining division to the one in which he lived or belonged, and demand that men should be furnished to commit the crime that he desired perpetrated. The men committing the crime were usually strangers to the person to be injured; the crime was committed, and the guilty escaped. Nobody knew, or could be found who knew anything about it; the bloody work was done in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 21, 1877, ten Irish-Americans were executed in the mining areas of Pennsylvania. All were accused of being members of a terror-ist group called the Molly Maguires, and all were convicted of planning and carrying out the murder of a number of mining officials. Ten more Irish-Americans were executed in Pennsylvania in the next 18 months on the same charges. One of the men executed on June 21, 1877, was Alexander Campbell, grand-uncle of the author. The Molly Maguire executions generated a great deal of contro-versy in Pennsylvania from the 1870s to the present, with Irish-Americans claiming the Mollies were framed by the mine owners, while some other ethnic. groups believe that they were guilty as charged and deserved the punishment they received. The author first heard about the execution of his grand-uncle back in the late 1940s in Dungloe, County Donegal, Ireland, and in the early 1970s, while living in New Jersey, began a fifteen year investiga-tion into the entire Molly Maguire controversy in order to determine if Alexander Campbell was guilty or innocent. A Molly Maguire Story is an account of that investigation."
Download or read book The Mollies Were Men Second Edition written by Dr. Thomas Barrett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-01-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 21, 1877, in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, ten men were executed by court order. All were said to be members of the "Molly Maguires," a secret society formed during the latter half of the nineteenth century by the Irish coal miners of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania. Dr. Barrett, using a wealth of authentic records and backed by intensive research, contends that although the Mollies did exist and did perpetrate some crimes, their trials and arrest were ridden with perjury, false accusations, and unbelievable miscarriages of justice, all condoned by the politicians of the era. Hired by a mine executive, a Pinkerton detective, carried out a course of espionage among members of a Molly "lodge" which resulted in the conviction and execution of a large number of Molly Maguires. It is the authors belief that this secret group, which appeared to take the law into its own hands, was forced to do so by the circumstances of the era and, by so doing, helped to set the pattern for our modern-day enlightened labor conditions. They were persecuted, convicted and hanged but they did accomplish their purpose, which was to someday force better working conditions for their fellow man.
