Book Reviews of Making Sense of the Molly Maguires

Book Review: Excellent, very well-researched book
Summary: 5 Stars

A very well-researched and detailed account of the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania. Cuts through the myths and concentrates on the facts. Gives a very good depiction of life in the coal region at the time (much of the language, culture, etc. is still present in the region today). Also good background information on the Mollies origins in Ireland. A very scholarly work.
