On June 11, a crowd of close to fifty learned about the association of Irish mummery with the development of the Molly Maguires in Minersville and Cass Township when Mark Bulik discussed his book, “The Sons of Molly Maguire: The Irish Roots of America’s First Labor War.” Attendees learned about the strange association, both in Ireland and in the United States, between mummers’ mocking antics and the Molly Maguires’ more serious activities against wealthy landowners in Ireland and wealthy mine owners in the U.S. Thank you to Mark Bulik for delivering such an interesting program and to all who came out to hear him.
