Colorado Public Radio has a program called Colorado Matters. This morning, their guest is an anthropologist who has been working on a five year archaeological dig at the site of the Ludlow Massacre. They are trying to inform more about the history of the day-to-day life of the miners. (See link below to listen to it.)

It is a VERY interesting interview, for instance: most tents in the tent colony of miners had cellars underneath. Experts think these were not only to hide from the machine gun sniping, but also is an indication of the miners' committment to stick with it for the "long haul." The thirteen women and children who died in the massacre were in one of these cellars; they died of smoke inhalation. Leading up to the massacre, there were frequent random shots fired upon the tents.

The other nice thing about this program is that they talk about its relevance to today's working/management relationships and also ethnic history etc., too.

Anyway, here's a link to Colorado Matters. If you then enter "ludlow massacre" in the search box, the link for the interview will show up (scroll down.) Here's their blurb about it:

Dean Saitta, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Denver and co-director of the Colorado Coal Field War Archeological Project, talks about the Ludlow Massacre of 1914.
