Accompanying insert lists the Italian Hall dead.
"1913 Massacre follows singer/songwriter Arlo Guthrie to the town of Calumet, a once-thriving mining town on Michigan's Upper Peninsula still haunted by the tragic events that inspired his father Woody Guthrie's ballad, '1913 Massacre.' On Christmas Eve, 1913, at a party for the children of striking copper miners, someone cried Fire! In the panic, 74 people were crushed to death. 59 of the dead were children. There was no fire. 1913 Massacre captures the last living eyewitnesses of the 1913 tragedy, reconstructs Calumet's past from memories, legends and songs, and traces the legacy of the Italian Hall diaster to the present day."--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

interviews galore submitted by Jackie77 on August 28, 2015, 9:53pm A very sad story of somebody yelling fire at a christmas party resulting in the death of many people,mostly children. It happened in the U.P. in 1913. Kind of boring. Just a lot of interviews with the people who live in the town. The perpetrator was never caught.
