    New York: Henry Holt, (1956) dj. Hardcover first edition - An account based on part with Holbrook's visits to Harry Orchard in the Idaho State Penitentiary until Orchard's death in 1984 at age 88. "Harry Orchard devoted most of his early life to lawlessness and crime on a fantasically large scale. As the hired assassin of the Western Federation of Miners, he blasted a trail of violence through the West, ending in the 1905 bomb-slaying of a former Idaho governor. . [This] is also the story of the Western Federation of Miners, of William 'Big Bill' Harwood, a onetime idol of American labor, and the organization of the Industrial Workers of the World by Haywood before he fled to the Soviet Union. Stewart Halbrook writes of the labor conditions that led to violence in the hardrock, first in the mines of Northern Idaho and later in the Cripple Creek region and the San Juans of Colorado. Time and again Orchard sparked new violence in the hope of winning the approval of Haywood and the other union leaders. By the time Orchard had killed twenty men or more, there was so much fear, hate, and violence in the hardrock mining towns that the Western Federation of Miners was doomed." Holbrook was a logger until he moved to Oregon in 1923, where he became a prolific writer, popular historian and an early proponent of conservationism. Bibliography, index. 318 pp. Map endpapers.
