Tragic.

So much tragedy throughout history.

Any particular reason you shared this bit today?

If you liked that one you should check out the sand creek massacre.

Coal mining wars get me thinking about Ludlow or Matewan, WV.

Obviously there is a racial and immigration component to Rock Springs as well.

I'm not sure either. Lol.

My post wasn't any more out of left field than the original post.

His incident was white people killing Chinamen, mine was white people killing Indians. Both of which were actually widely accepted at that point in history.

Left field is unarmed.

I learned all about the Meeker Massacre after I moved here and then visited Ft. Steele in WY. Just a fascinating bit of history.

Next time you use the word Chinamen, please add a trigger warning.
