Description:
Glenn Aultman shows interviewers the photography studio which his father started in Trinidad in 1901. Much of the original equipment is still operational. He, a photographer from 1925 on himself, discusses photographic processes (e.g., a panoramic circuit camera). When questioned, he reminisces about life in Trinidad, the bustling city, which was nearly deserted after the dust bowl years of the early thirties. At that time, a number of mines closed due to decreasing demand for coal. He remembers how miners had to purchase everything from the company store using scrip, which did not sit well with the miners nor the retailers of Trinidad. He recalls the Ludlow strike and how people in Trinidad lived in fear of violence from both the angry miners and the state militia. He believes the strike was ended without much won because the miners could not make it through another winter. His father's negatives are with the State Historical Society in Denver. The final part of this video Barron Beshoar shows interviewers where coal miners shot dead George Belcher on Nov. 20, 1913 in Trinidad, Colorado. Belcher, who worked for of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency had killed a union organizer. He was known for terrorizing miners who came to Trinidad, and even non-mining people believed he got what he deserved.
