Sure. For starters be sure to read post #89 by ProtectOurFreedom on this thread. You should also read MacArthur's account on pp 92-97 here. MacArthur's account starts in the middle of pp92 and ends in the middle of pg 97. After you've read that, head to a library and research newspaper articles from the period.
This was interesting, especially looking at the problems we are having today.
