This Timeline is not complete, nor is it a formal presentation of conclusions. This Timeline is an educational collection of research and resources on Bloody December of 1907 with a special focus on the Monongah disaster of December 6th.
This Timeline was created to assist myself in the writing of an historic fiction about Monongah and since no such formatting of these events exist in such a manner, I decided to self-publish my (ongoing) research. As a result of this, all posts are constantly subject to change, especially if any of its readers have information to add or share in relation to the people, places, events, and other aspects of these events.
I do not believe in gatekeeping knowledge or information and so I am sharing this research with you entirely free. Certain research which has been omitted is either done so on a temporary basis (see “Issues“) or is more relevant to my fiction and does not apply to this Timeline.
