Síntesis:
"On June 2, 1916, forty mostly immigrant mineworkers in Aurora, Minnesota, walked off the job?a labor disturbance that would mushroom into one of the most contentious battles between organized labor and management in the early 1900s. Gary Kaunonen tells the story of what this pivotal moment meant for workers and immigrants, mining and labor relations in Minnesota and beyond" -- publisher?s description.
