Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Military Occupation of the Coal Strike Zone of Colorado: By the Colorado National Guard, 1913-1914; Report of the Commanding General to the Governor for the Use of the Congressional Committee; Exhibiting an Account of the Military Occupation to the Time of the First Withdrawal of the Troops in April, 1914 I am directed to prefix to the report that follows a word of explanation. A committee of the House of Representatives in the Sixty-third Congress investigated strike conditions in Colorado. They were not investigating the National Guard, but a mass of testimony was presented to the committee supporting a very bitter attack upon the state troops. To this attack and this testimony the National Guard paid little or no attention. At the conclusion of the committee´s sittings in Colorado, His Excellency, the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, directed the Commanding General to review the testimony presented to the Congressional Committee and to investigate and report the truth of all the charges and accusations made against the military arm of the state. The following report is the result of that order. It was prepared by the Commanding General after careful investigation, and transmitted to the Congressional Committee by the Governor for the purpose of aiding that body to arrive at a true and just estimate of the military situation. The Governor´s letter of transmittal accompanying the report to Washington precedes the report itself. Inasmuch as this report exhibits a fairly detailed history of the military occupation almost to the time of the first withdrawal of the troops, and contains matter that cannot fail of interest to all the people, it was directed to be printed in the present form for general public distribution.
