I find myself interested mostly in the lives of the miners inside the mines in the months and days leading up to the labor strike. I feel as though a good place to start, in this respect, is with Louis Tikas. I want to track his story as he entered the mines, worked, and left.
Moment: The leading of 63 soldiers into the strike.
Sources like Buried Unsung, Labor and Freedom and The Coal Strike of 1913 - An Interpretation (also, hopefully, some of the NY Times and other news sources cited)
Also, I found this website, they looked at the class struggle through Ludlow and the strike:
