Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre

by Zeese Papanikolas

Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Louis Tikas was a union organizer killed in the battle between striking coal miners and state militia in Ludlow, Colorado, in 1914. In "Buried Unsung" he stands for a whole generation of immigrant workers who, in the years before World War I, found themselves caught between the realities of industrial America and their aspirations for a better life.

Review:

"Papanikolas brings to Buried Unsung a gift for moving prose and an intimate understanding of those Greek cultural values that affected the Ludlow strikers. . . . At every step, the author merges the written record with oral material and his personal experiences to give unbelievable power to the tale."-American Historical Review
(American Historical Review)

Review:

"[A] stunning book, one of the most exciting I have read in a decade. . . . The mystery and drama of [Papanikolas] journey to resurrect Tikas and discover his own soul still haunt me weeks after I finished reading the book."-Harry Mark Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
(Chicago Tribune)

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 321-326) and index.
