In a fascinating essay in Neshaminy's eleventh issue, Don Swaim recounts the violent history of the Molly Maguires, a 19th century Irish-American secret society that clashed with the ugly realities of the Pennsylvania coal industry.

Focusing on the excesses and injustices of unchecked American capitalism as well as the unrelenting rage of laboring men fighting for basic rights, Swaim’s article resounds with both the past and the present.

Given the two sides of his personality, Eric Mintel seems like a character plucked from a fantastical work of fiction. One night he’ll take the stage as a jazz pianist, and the next night he’ll head to an historic building, a tract of uninhabited forest, or some other destination known for curious goings-on and don a much different hat—that of a paranormal investigator.

In his thorough profile of Mintel in Neshaminy's latest issue, managing editor William J. Donahue explores Mintel’s obsession with hauntings, cryptids, and UAPs, short for unidentified anomalous phenomena.
