What was life like in the mid 1800s for the Italian immigrants who so desperately sought work in the gold and silver mines in the western states? Why did they leave their native land and their beloved families? What kept them here in America where they labored under appalling conditions? The Fish Creek Massacre is a case in point of the tremendous prejudices they endured. This well researched book details this horrendous event as well as gives you a brief glimpse of Italian history and the beginning of the labor movements here in America.
