Those guys didn't even know where they were going or what they were doing until they were literally on the barges in the river, parked offshore from the plant. They took the jobs because they needed work. They didn't know they were coming to battle 4,000 insane militants who had illegally seized private property.

I would recommend tracking down the book "Lockout : The Story of the Homestead Strike of 1892" by Leon Wolff.

Not a cop. Just an admirer of Henry Frick and a person who believes in private property rights and law and order.
