That event was known as the Ludlow Massacre. It occured in 1901 near
Pueblo. The event drew national attention to the conditions of the
miners. A direct result of the event was the creation of the Squirrel
Creek Campground (!st public campgroun in Forest Service) on the San
Isabel NF to give city-bound (Pueblo) workers a place for rest and
relaxation. Colorado OAHP has the records.
