I am looking for a book on the Mollies that is accepted as the most accurate representation of what really happened. I am also looking for as much detail as possible; it would be great if it had some genealogy data on those accused of wrong doing. Recently I was driving-by Jim Thorpe (Maugh Chunk) and I exited the thruway to find a local book store. I had always thought the town would be a quite little village with older homes and some nice 19th century buildings. What a disappointment - if the homes and buildings were there, I never saw them. The traffic was horrible and I had all I could do navigating through it. I quickly gave up on looking for a book store and got back on the highway. Oh well, if anyone can recommend a book it would be greatly appreciated. Jim Dolan
I have a copy of a book entitled " A GUIDE TO THE MOLLY MAGUIRES" which I purchased a few years ago at the Eckley Miners Village, where the movie was filmed some years ago. The cost of the book was $19.95. The author were H.T. Crown and Mark T. Major. You might also try purchasing the book from Mark T. Major 708 W.
