(5761) Colorado Coal Strike, Violence, Walsenburg, 1928

A view of the scene is Walsenburg moments after violence broke out between strikers and state police.

Caption of the back of the photograph reads: “State policeman on corner where killing took place a few minutes after shooting occurred. “I’ll blow you to hell!” he told F.P. correspondent who was taking the picture and leveled his gun at him. Just as the picture snapped he lowered his gun. Crowd in the background is standing in front of the IWW Hall.”
