The brothers had wild dreams of beginning a new life in America. They were determined to gain fame and fortune in America and were prepared to work hard to get it. Eventually the brothers settled in a small town in the mountains of Pennsylvania where work in and around the coal mines started them on their way to realizing their dreams. They worked long hours and the work was difficult. They had children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Their families were close-knit and the family members supported one another without question.
Who could know that from such a humble beginning would come riches, power, political position, gambling, brothels, shame and imprisonment?
Bruce Boyd writes his families side of the story surrounding the so called Kelayres Massacre.
