Lattimer Massacre Trial

On September 10, 1897, tragedy struck the small mining town of Lattimer, Pennsylvania. Eighteen miners were shot and killed and 38 wounded in what became known as the Lattimer Massacre. This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at the ensuing trial, later known as the Lattimer Massacre Trial. It consists of a compilation of contemporaneous news articles which appeared in “The Press,” a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania newspaper. The articles were written by the newspaper’s reporters who were present during all stages of the trial and appeared with sketches of the trial’s events by the newspaper’s artists who were also present. Never before has such a complete chronicling of the trial’s events been compiled and presented to the public.
