As a supplement to to my previous Report:
"Lynching of Italians & The Largest
Lynching in the USA",
Larry DiStasi, [author of "Una Storia
Segreta", and the
"Big Book of Italian American Culture"],
has advised me that:
in Andrew Rolle's "The Immigrant Upraised"
(now published as
" Westward the Immigrants" , p. 175.(it's
only 1 line, without a reference):
"In 1895 in the southern Colorado coal
fields a group of miners slew six
Italian workers implicated in the death
of an American saloonkeeper".
"In 1900, four others met their death at Walsenburg".
>From that same book, on p. 174, there also lists other lynchings:
in 1890 at Gunnison, and
in 1893, at Denver
with graphic eyewitness accounts.

in New Orleans, LA on March 14, 1891,
