At least 19 miners, mostly Polish, Slovak, Lithuanian, and German, were killed-many shot in the back. Sheriff Martin and 73 deputies were arrested and tried for murder. Despite medical evidence of miners shot in the back and witness testimony contradicting the deputies' claim of self-defense, all defendants were acquitted. The massacre became a turning point for the UMW, resulting in over 10,000 new members.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Pinkowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888194454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catamount Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Edward Pinkowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447298109695,"sku":"9798888194454","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02a17994-7846-4b8a-9ddd-139e0beb7cb7.jpg?v=1777230177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lattimer-massacre-edward-pinkowski-9798888194454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
