Exploring the Ludlow Massacre site, Ludlow, Colorado | Ghost town & Mining |
Join our adventure as we explore the Ludlow Memorial Monument in Ludlow Colorado. The monument marks the location of one of the deadliest labor conflicts in American history. Coal Miners who were growing increasingly frustrated by low wages, poor living conditions in company towns and incredibly dangerous working conditions in the underground coal mines called a strike in September of 1913. Tensions escalated with the deployment of the Colorado State Militia as well as patrols from Coal Company guards. On April 20, 1914 a deadly confrontation erupted between the two camps resulting in the loss of life of men, women and children. This was the beginning of the ten day war and a major event in the Colorado Coal Field War.

      Mary Harris "Mother" Jones did indeed go to Colorado and helped organize the 1913-1914 strike. From information I found, she was arrested and served prison time . Prior to the Ludlow Massacre she was escorted from the state so I do not believe she was at Ludlow at the time of the events on April 20, 1914. Thank you for the comment and for watching our video.

    In retaliation for the massacre, miners attacked antiunion town officials, strikebreakers, and the mines, taking control of an area about 50 miles long and 5 miles wide. As many as 50 people died during the reaction to the Ludlow Massacre. Fearing a further escalation of violence, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sent in federal troops to restore order. Unlike the National Guard, the federal troops were impartial and kept strikebreakers out of the coal mines. The strike ended on December 10, 1914. While the workers got little in the way of tangible benefits from their strike, the UMWA gained 4,000 new members.

    • @RockDoctorAdventures

      The 10 days following Ludlow were some of the worst days of violence of the Colorado Coalfield war. The positive outcome from the investigation that followed was the 1915 report from the House committee on Mines and Mining. That report was instrumental in promoting child labor laws and the eight hour work day. Thank you for the thoughtful comment and for watching our video. All the best... RDA

    So the Governor of Colorado, bought off by the wealthy mine owners got the National Guard to murder 15+ poor miners and their families who were on strike because the wealthy mine owners needed to mistreat their employees so they could have a bigger mansion than their neighbors. Who was punished for these murders? Obviously not the people who were in charge... Funny how things haven't changed...

    • @RockDoctorAdventures

      Early coal mining with company towns and company stores definitely favored the coal companies. There truly was something to the song that stated "You owe your soul to the company store". From September 1913 to April 1914, there were plenty of clashes between the two factions, however, there was a total collapse of civility on April 20. In the video I included "408 strikers were arrested, 332 of whom were indicted for murder. Twenty-two National Guardsmen, including 10 officers, were court-martialed". This was the bulk of the prosecutions after the massacre. The positive slant to this entire negative event was the changing of labor laws as a direct result of the Ludlow massacre and the much larger Colorado Coalfield war.

    I live near the town of Castle Rock, where the Castle Rock formation lies atop the Dawson Arkose sandstone. Where the Castle Rock formation is still in place, in large sheets around twenty feet thick, rainwater and snowmelt seeps down through cracks in the harder Castle Rock conglomerate. Where the water washes down to the Dawson sandstone below, is slowly carries away the easily eroded sandstone, and forms caves, right where the two formations touch. You can walk into the caves, which will have soft white sandstone walls and floor, but a ceiling made of harder, darker conglomerate. If you visit Castlewood Canyon State Park, you'll find a number of these cave-like rock shelters, just twenty feet below the crest of the canyon walls. One of these caves is located in a new open space park on the edge of Castle Rock, known as Lost Canyon. It's been excavated by archaeologists, who found evidence of several native cultures who used the cave over time, including a cache of mocassins made from yucca fiber. It's known as Franktown cave. The city only recently purchased the Lost Canyon ranch, and the open space is not yet open to the public. I suspect they'll want to secure the cave to keep the public out before it opens. At my house, the Castle rock formation eroded away long ago, so our surface is Dawson Arkose sandstone (or the sand that is left when it erodes.) The Dawson formation is much thicker than the Castle Rock formation. The Dawson continues for several hundred feet below our land surface. We walk on the Dawson formation and we also drink out of it! Our water well goes two hundred feet down into the Dawson. So we have a two-hundred foot thick coarse (and in some layers fine) sand filter to clean the rainwater and snowmelt before we drink it. Dawson water tastes great, but it leaves a ring in the toilets!

      We had a good meal and enjoyed the rain. Back in my college days we would watch these storms blow up over Cheyenne in the afternoon and dump buckets of rain. Produced the occasional tornado as the storms moved out over the Great Plains. More Wyoming content coming as well as a a few Colorado locations so stay tuned. As always, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. We truly appreciate it. All the best, Rock Doctor.

    In the mid 70s I traveled to Teec Nos Pos to visit a old school friend who was an Arizona Highway Patrolman stationed there. We drove to the 4 Corners Monument and at that time there were no buildings there, just the small monument in what was like a traffic circle and nothing else. Before we left, we drove in the circle around the monument several times so we could say we drove in 4 states in a matter of less than a minute.

    • @RockDoctorAdventures
      @RockDoctorAdventures 3 місяці тому

      Very similar to the first time I visited the location. There was nothing there except for the disk in the ground marking the four corner spot. There was also no entry fee for viewing the site. They charge to enter now. By the way, Tec Nos Pos really hasn't changed much since the last time you were there in the 70's. The monument... Yes...Tec Nos Pos... Not so much.

    Great video! I love learning about the native tribes of these areas. I was curious as to the term CE for dating the pueblo site, what does it stand for and when is it used? Itraveled to Durango and Silverton in my teens with my family. I remember the beautiful mountains and the road down into Silverton was REALLY steep and winding. We also ate at a BBQ restaurant in Silverton that had been in Guy Fiere's show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I'd love to visit Colorado again to experience some of these other places.

    • @RockDoctorAdventures
      @RockDoctorAdventures 3 місяці тому

      Great question. The terms CE and BCE stand for Common Era and Before Common Era. They have been in use since the 17th century and are used interchangeably with BC and AD. No preference for either as I can tell. Some scholarly writings use the BC/AD abbv. while others use the CE/BCE. Durango and Silverton are spectacular locations. There is a lot of history surrounding both of those place. Ouray and Cortez are close by as are a number of National Parks and Monuments. Long weekend trips might be in your future 😁.

      Wow, thank you for the wonderful comments. They are truly appreciated. The memories of the bees and rattlesnakes are still very vivid in my mind, it was quite the day and documented in the fieldnotes of the USGS. There were bees everywhere. Up and to that point I never knew bees made hives out of fallen pine needles on the ground. Boy were they ever mad at me for stepping all over their nest. That's what I get for just looking at the rocks!🙄. Thanks again for watching the video.

So, due to lack of SEO your videos don't reach to target audience and don't rank on UA-cam. That's why your Videos do not get much audience,views, likes and comments which limits your channel growth.

    When they left they burned everything to the ground as a final "f-you" because of the back taxes. It truly was an oasis, the variety of produce they grew was impressive even by modern standards.Thats why there are only foundations.
