Ludlow Massacre
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Part of the Colorado Coal Strike, which took place in 1913-14. Attempting to put down a coal miner strike, the Colorado National Guard machine-gunned its way into a tent city in Ludlow, Colorado, and set it on fire. Twenty people are killed, among them twelve children; families are found asphyxiated in underground shelters. The massacre sparks the Colorado Coalfield War, ten days of violent reprisals against the mines, put down with the imposition of federal troops.
