add to cart   close window

This article focuses on Edward Patrick Coll, American Legionnaire and blood cousin of Eamon De Valera. He has acted as a conscience for the American Legion, the same legion that was used as a catspaw by certain powerful interests to cause the death of five men in Centralia, Washington, on Armistice Day, 1919, and that later helped force the unjust conviction and incarceration of eight others as a result of that tragedy. Captain Coll once asked for a frank discussion of the Centralia case in the Legion Post and it had been promised.
