The Mollies Were Men (Second Edition): The Final Chapter
by
Dr. Thomas Barrett
A new edition by Shenandoah native Dr. Thomas Barrett, son of
Tom Barrett Sr., author of
the acclaimed first edition.
"The Final Chapter" brings to closure a violent time in anthracite mining
history. On January 12, 1979, one hundred years and thirty-five days after
Jack Kehoe was hung, the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, after full and public
hearings, recommended, with written reasons that the arrests and trials were
ridden with perjury, false accusations and unbelievable miscarriages of
justice all condoned by the politicians of the era, that the pardon of
John Kehoe be granted accordingly (posthumously).
