Episode description as stored

In the early 1870s, tensions between Pennsylvania coal miners and mine owners reaches a fever pitch. Poor working conditions for little pay results in a bitter dispute between labor and management. Making matters worse, a group of Irish immigrants called the Molly Maguires have taken violent measures against management. At the end of 1873, the Pinkerton Detective Agency is hired to spy on the Mollies. The Pinkertons send in undercover agent, James McParland. Thanks to our sponsor, HelloFresh!
