The people of Herrin took those secrets and what they saw to their grave.
There are a number of projects in the works, some announced, others not. I'm working on some of them, but there are others as well.
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 25, University of Illinois instructor John Griswold will be signing copies of his new novel, "A Democracy of Ghosts", which is based on the 1922 Herrin Massacre.
The main character Bill Sneed, is based on his real-life grandfather William J. Sneed, who was Williamson County's state senator at the time and as well as the District 12 president of the United Mine Workers of America.
The historic Sneed was out of town on the day of the massacre, which I'm sure was a calculated decision.
According to testimony in the subsequent murder trials, District Vice President Hugh Willis was the instigator of the riot at the power house as he rallied the miners to shoot their replacements. However, Griswold tweaks the history to put the fictional Sneed in the middle of the action.
Griswold will speak about his book at 2 p.m.
tomorrow at the Bookworm bookstore in Car
