Riassunto

At dawn on July 12, 1917, Bisbee, Arizona, changed hands. Armed deputies flooded the canyon streets, dragged men from boardinghouses and sidewalks, herded them to Warren Ballpark, and packed 1,186 miners, strike supporters, and alleged IWW sympathizers into cattle cars bound for the New Mexico desert. How did an American town decide that badges, rifles, and freight cars could replace courts, rights, and law?

The Bisbee Deportation: The 1917 Vigilante Roundup That Expelled 1,200 Miners tells that story at ground level, where copper wealth, wartime patriotism, and corporate power converged with explosive force. Here are the men who refused to go back underground, Sheriff Harry Wheeler and the secret machinery of mass deputization, the night the lists were made, and the terrible hours when a labor dispute became a civic purge. What follows is a true story of planning, panic, exile, and a community forced to live with what it had done.

Vivid, scrupulously grounded, and driven by the choices of real people, this is narrative history with the pace of a thriller and the weight of a national reckoning. Bisbee was not only a Western outrage; it was a warning about how quickly fear can turn neighbors into enemies and power into permission. Once you enter this canyon, it is very hard to look away.
