Ha! Thanks Jamie, glad you're digging. I guess I'll do more of these, I've certainly no shortage of videos to recommend, just a matter of... re-watching, writing some bits, organizing into some kind of sequence or at least a collection that hits a number of notes. Need more time. And subs too. Oof! Anyways, thanks for your encouragement!

I hadn't seen Salt of the Earth until last year when I ended up in Silver City, NM and did this deep dive; some of you may appreciate

Faythe, Thank you for this. I'm currently reading Byrikt's Forging the Copper Collar: Arizona's Labor-Management War of 1901-1921 and Kingsolver's Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 so I'm especially fascinated by your research. Awesome!

I'm so glad it struck a chord, it was an unexpected part of that trip where I was traveling to do genealogy research. It felt like such an important history to be standing in front of, and the oral histories included in the Salt of the Land Recovery Project really closed the link while I was there.
