Excerpt from Persuading God Back to HerrinIn June, 1922, one of the most terrible catastrophes in the annals of American history took place in the county when twenty-three persons were killed, or as the press at that time chose to characterize it, were massacred in a union and non-union clash. Telegraphic messages bearing the date line of this city won for the event the unpleasant title of the Herrin Mas sacre. The entire truth of the trouble which was precipitated by the efforts of a money-mad mine operator to displace union labor in this field never got a fair and full hearing before the people of the nation and the community today still stands discredited and the incident has gone down in history with the indictment against Herrin because of an insufficient understanding of the conditions that led up to 'and precipitated this horrible event.But that is now a closed incident. We are here concerned with the reign of ter ror that came later and from which the community is just now emerging and which has little or no connection with the massacre of 1922.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
