This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... XIX. REPLY FROM C. E. My dear Lucy, Accept my cordial thanks for the important facts supplied by your letters and the documents therein quoted. They establish truths not so fully understood as they ought to be in the old country; but proper to be known in every country, proper to be borne in mind by all who would defend civilised society and its first requisite, the repression of crime. We knew before that the Irish Catholics who have emigrated to the United States are, for the most part, avowed enemies of England; that rebels, traitors and criminals here obtain from them funds for the prosecution of their nefarious work. But from your letters we now learn that they are enemies not of England and the Saxon race alone, but of the laws and peace of the land in which they reside, and of all races which compete with them for employment, position and influence there; that, while sanguinary ruffians in Ireland itself are engaged in murdering, outraging and plundering landlords, land-agents and law-abiding tenants, their sympathising kinsfolk across the Atlantic keep tune with them by murdering, outraging and plundering coal-proprietors, their agents, and law-abiding labourers of all races, American, English, Scotch, German, Swede, all in short who are not Irish Catholics; for the heretic Celt, Welsh or Cornish, finds no more mercy at their hands than the heretic Teuton. Their war is three-fold, a war against race, a war against religion a war against property and the laws which uphold property _ That they wage war on race and religion, is amply proved (1) by the 10th Article of their hypocritical association, the Ancient Order of Hibernians DEGREES which says that "No person shall become a member of this Order who is not Irish, or of . Irish descent,

Jaclyn Fowler was destined to write a novel about John (“Black Jack”) Kehoe. Kehoe’s unflinching courage stands in sharp contrast to the perfidious, relentless opposition of Franklin B. Gowen, the anti-union railroad lawyer. Her research is impeccable; her characters jump off the page and her story will turn over the heart of any reader who has one. I must add that this is a novel ensconced in a brilliant frame—Jaclyn’s own story of growing up in an Irish-American family. Fowler’s stunning rendering of Kehoe’s heroic tale is dramatic, Dreiserian and delicious. J. Michael Lennon, author most recently of Mailer’s Last Days: Remembrances of a Life in Literature. Jaclyn Fowler has created an unforgettable historical novel. Her powerful writing is enhanced by extensive research as she debunks Pennsylvania lore concerning Jack Kehoe, the falsely accused Molly Maguire, charged with practicing vigilante justice in the northeastern coalfields. Fowler seasons the story with an autobiographical slant. Having grown up in the area listening to her father, also named Jack, render tales of the mining atrocities, Fowler aims to right the wrongs of that difficult time. Jackie Fowler’s novel deserves to be set alongside Angle of Repose, Wallace Stegner’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel. A storyteller at heart, Jaclyn Maria Fowler comes from a long line of raconteurs and wanderers who all trace their lineage back to Ireland. She, too, travels to write and writes to travel, and following in the footsteps of her ancestors, tells the stories of Ireland and the Irish diaspora. To pay for her obsession, she works as Chair of the English Department at American Public University System (APUS). She is the author of It is Myself that I Remake and No One Radiates Love Alone. Fowler has also published many short stories, including The Other Day I Found a Penny in the Street in the 2020 Colorado Book Award winning anthology, Women of the Desert in the Wanderlust Best of ‘20 anthology, and In the Summer Before Third Grade in the 2022 Fish Anthology. Fowler received her Doctorate from The Pennsylvania State University and her MFA from Wilkes University. She is the proud mother of two grown children—Katlyn and Collin—who tell their own stories in writing, and lives with Doodles, a pampered shitzu mix.

An “incisive and original” history of the 19th-century Irish secret society that instigated America’s first labor wars in Pennsylvania Coal Country (Peter Quinn, author of Looking for Jimmy). A secret society of Irish peasant assassins, the Molly Maguires reemerged in Pennsylvania’s hard-coal region, organizing strikes, murdering mine bosses, and fighting the Civil War draft. Their shadowy twelve-year battle with coal companies marked the beginning of class warfare in America. But little has been written about the origins of this struggle or the peculiar rites, traditions, and culture of the Mollies. The Sons of Molly Maguire delves into the lost world of peasant Ireland to uncover the links between the folk justice of the Mollies and the folk drama of the Mummers—a group known in America today for their annual New Year’s parade in Philadelphia. The historic link not only explains much about Ireland’s Mollies—why the killers wore women’s clothing, why they struck around holidays—but also sheds new light on the Mollies’ re-emergence in Pennsylvania. When the Irish arrived in the anthracite coal region, they brought along their ethnic, religious, and political conflicts. Just before the Civil War, a secret society emerged, as did an especially political form of Mummery. Resurrected amid wartime strikes and conscription, the American Mollies would become a bastion of labor activism.

A group of 20 Irish immigrants, suspected of comprising a secret terrorist organization called the "Molly Maguires", were executed in Pennsylvania in the 1870s for the murder of 16 men. This work offers a new interpretation of their dramatic story, tracing the origins of the Molly Maguires to Ireland and explaining the growth of a particular structure of meaning.

Sensational tales of true-life crime, the devastation of the Irish potato famine, the upheaval of the Civil War, and the turbulent emergence of the American labor movement are connected in a captivating exploration of the roots of the Molly Maguires. A secret society of peasant assassins in Ireland that re-emerged in Pennsylvania’s hard-coal region, the Mollies organized strikes, murdered mine bosses, and fought the Civil War draft. Their shadowy twelve-year duel with all powerful coal companies marked the beginning of class warfare in America. But little has been written about the origins of this struggle and the folk culture that informed everything about the Mollies. A rare book about the birth of the secret society, The Sons of Molly Maguire delves into the lost world of peasant Ireland to uncover the astonishing links between the folk justice of the Mollies and the folk drama of the Mummers, who performed a holiday play that always ended in a mock killing. The link not only explains much about Ireland’s Molly Maguires—where the name came from, why the killers wore women’s clothing, why they struck around holidays—but also sheds new light on the Mollies’ re-emergence in Pennsylvania. The book follows the Irish to the anthracite region, which was transformed into another Ulster by ethnic, religious, political, and economic conflicts. It charts the rise there of an Irish secret society and a particularly political form of Mummery just before the Civil War, shows why Molly violence was resurrected amid wartime strikes and conscription, and explores how the cradle of the American Mollies became a bastion of later labor activism. Combining sweeping history with an intensely local focus, The Sons of Molly Maguire is the captivating story of when, where, how, and why the first of America’s labor wars began.
