| Abstract: | The Ludlow Massacre of 1914, in which at least 25 striking miners from the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and their families died, was one of the bloodiest incidents in American Labor history. Immediately after the incident, the United Mine Workers of America, the union which had its organizing efforts thwarted at Ludlow, went about blaming the massacre on the primary stockholder of the firm, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. This paper examines this successful effort, focusing in particular on the Ludlow monument, erected in 1918 on the site of the massacre in memory of the victims. |
