The Valley of Fear“The Valley of Fear” begins when Inspector MacDonald arrives with news of the horrible murder of Mr. Douglas of Birlstone Manor House, which is isolated by a forty foot moat. Douglas came from golden California a wealthy man. A shotgun blast destroyed his face, only a brand on his arm identified him. Holmes talks to the people involved, he knows some are lying. He is able to solve this killing. This leads to Part 2, a fictionalized story of the anthracite coal wars in 1870s Pennsylvania. Violence by the coal company during a long strike was answered with violence by the miners. A Pinkerton agent infiltrated the miner’s union, gained their confidence, and began collecting evidence. This miner’s group was called the “Mollie Maguires”. This group was caught in the act, convicted, and hanged. The miners threatened the informer with revenge. During another recession the mine owner was dismissed from his position and later died a suicide.
I wonder if an agent provocateur was used to create crimes? This is the least known of the long stories, a good history book will tell you more.
