Murder and confessions in the Steunenberg case
In an Idaho War era report by Jacob Waldeck, the long view argues the Steunenberg murder and subsequent arrest of Haywood and Pettibone stem from miner owner clashes since 1892 in the Coeur d’Alene region. It outlines a bomb killing at Caldwell, the role of Pinkerton detectives, federal troops, and key figures like Thomas Hogan alias Harry Orchard, with references to mine owners, inspectors, and lawmen shaping the infamous Idaho murders saga.
