DVD Reviews of In Search Of History - True Story Of The Molly Maguires (History

DVD Review: History from the coal regions
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the history of the Molly Maguires from the region where I grew up so I ordered this DVD. It was great so I lent it to a neighbor, who is from Ireland because he knew of the Molly Maguires. Unfortunately he has a Doberman puppy who ate it so I ordered my second one because I really enjoyed it the first time. This one I'm NOT lending my neighbor. I have no quames about ordering from Amazon.com. I have purchased many items through them and everything has arrived ahead of schedule and in excellent condition.

DVD Review: Interesting...
Summary: 4 Stars

This is an interesting and clear account of what the Irish immigrants and miners experienced.

Description of In Search Of History - True Story Of The Molly Maguires (History

An emotional debate still rages over the guilt or innocence of the "Molly Maguires," 30 Irish immigrants executed in Pennsylvaniais coal-mining country during the 1870s. Their crime: the murder of 16 men, mainly mine officials. Were the "Mollies" bloodthirsty gangsters or the innocent victims of spies, detectives and railroad barons? One thing is sure: Along with those men died a shadowy movement born in Ireland in the early 1800s to earn justice for poor tenant farmers, which resurfaced after the mass Irish immigration to America in the face of oppressive labor conditions. When labor disputes between owners and workers escalated to violence, a series of murders was said to be perpetrated by the secret society known as the Molly Maguires. The media fanned the flames of hostility against the Irish Catholic miners, and the legal system was manipulated to favor the corporate interests of the railroad magnates. This program investigates what happened and visits with the still-passionate descendants of the Molly Maguires.
