Join Dawn and guest, actor Peter Breitmayer, as they discuss this little known story from American History. Meet heroes like Sid Hatfield and Mother Jones, and villains like Albert Felts and that murderous cunt, CE Lively. 

It's a tragic story of labor unions and the powerful monopolists who dropped literal bombs on them - in a page that was missing from all our history books.
