[edit] 19th C. history

You may want to look at the story of Kelly's Army for more context. I looked at the articles briefly but am still confused about who was doing what. Jack London's account told of their starting in CA, with the intention to get to WA, DC. The full name needs to be used to differentiate from US troops. You've certainly found much material on the violence of US labor history. You might want to check your accounts to be sure you identify what industry was being struck against, or where strikebreakers were hired. It would help people have more understanding.--Parkwells (talk) 17:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Will do. You'll find that I used the Times for source material on most of the article; I will get into the labor history books soon for more details. Finding out correct info on Kelly's Army shouldn't be too difficult - it appears well noted. Some of the others may be more challenging; I'll see. Thanks again for your c/e. • Freechild'sup? 17:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
