Details:
In October 1862, hundreds of Irish mineworkers in Schuylkill County did something extraordinary - and dangerous. They took up arms against the government. Join us for an evening with public historian Jake Wynn as he explores a largely forgotten uprising in Pennsylvania’s Coal Region when draft resistance, racial grievance, labor unrest, and partisan politics collided in the middle of the Civil War
