Title: Haymarket raid??
Post by: Tubac on September 02, 2008, 11:50:45 AM
Hi Gents,

What ever happened to the movie called "The Haymarket Raid "or sumpthing like that? I remember trailers being shown about a year ago,
or, maybe I imagined the whole thing.

Don't know what happened to it, but I think you're talking about the "Hayfield Fight".

I was kind of wondering too.

Griff,

Thanks for the help. Yup, that's the one. I guess it rode off into the sunset while I wasn't lookin'.

We got a Haymarket street onver the SE part of Dallas, Texas. I hadn't heard of any raids over there lately.

There is also the Haymarket Riot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_riots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_riots).  This was significant in motivating Charlie Siringo to become a Pinkerton detective...
