Dr. Barrett, using a wealth of authentic records and backed by intensive research, contends that although the Mollies did exist and did perpetrate some crimes, their trials and arrest were ridden with perjury, false accusations, and unbelievable miscarriages of justice, all condoned by the politicians of the era.
Hired by a mine executive, a Pinkerton detective, carried out a course of espionage among members of a Molly "lodge" which resulted in the conviction and execution of a large number of Molly Maguires.
It is the authors belief that this secret group, which appeared to take the law into its own hands, was forced to do so by the circumstances of the era and, by so doing, helped to set the pattern for our modern-day enlightened labor conditions. They were persecuted, convicted and hanged but they did accomplish their purpose, which was to someday force better working conditions for their fellow man.
Dr. Barrett was born in Shenandoah in 1938 and he learned very early from his dad to plan on getting away from the mines. After his father passed away, he found all of his father’s original notes and research material, he tracked additional information from the Internet and old newspaper files. The new records and the attraction of the Molly Maguire legend made Tom want to complete the story.
Dr. Barrett, working as an analyst and system engineer, learned to keep accurate evidence and notes. He used this experience and talent to integrate and edit the original version of The Mollies Were Men to create this second edition as The Final Chapter giving closure to this violent era.
