"Consider putting your preconceptions of Billy Gohl’s story back on the shelf and immerse yourself in this compelling new read."
"Consider putting your preconceptions of Billy Gohl’s story back on the shelf and immerse yourself in this compelling new read."
"[P]art whodunit mystery, part biography, and part case study of Grays Harbor’s itinerant workers and their labor movement...The Port of Missing Men makes major contributions to both local history and the larger story of industrial capitalism."
"In this thoroughly researched study of Gohl's career and trial, Aaron Goings persuasively argues that the union activist was framed by Grays Harbor elites.... The Port of Missing Men illustrates how untruths can be repeated often enough to be widely believed, and difficult to dislodge.... [Goings's] laser-like focus on this isolated deindustrialized area...reveals the interconnections between business and political leaders at the local and state level and how they marshaled repressive tactics to silence Gohl, the IWW, and others."
"Goings smashes through the mythology to deliver a compelling and exciting story that is at once real crime and labor history."
Aaron Goings is associate professor of history and chair of the History and Political Science Department at Saint Martin’s University. He is coauthor of The Red Coast: Radicalism and Anti-radicalism in Southwest Washington and Community in Conflict: A Working-Class History of the 1913–14 Michigan Copper Strike and the Italian Hall Tragedy.
