{"id":71,"name":"Bill Marvel","url":"","description":"Bill Marvel remembers Pearl Harbor, Denver before it was too expensive, newspapers when people still read them and a city editor would hire a kid out of college with a degree in literature, not journalism. After Denver he worked for newspapers in Washington, D.C., and Dallas as an art writer, theater critic, general features writer and occasional assistant features editor. His books include a history of the Rock Island Railroad, and a World War II combat memoir, <i>Islands of the Damned<\/i>, co-authored with U.S. Marine Sgt. R.V Burgin. But the work of his life is a book-length narrative of the bloodiest labor war in U.S. history, the infamous Ludlow Massacre; and, most recently, with Michael Mooney, a television drama series based on the book. Stay tuned.","link":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/author\/billmarvel\/","slug":"billmarvel","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--24x24.jpg","48":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--48x48.jpg","96":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--96x96.jpg"},"meta":[],"simple_local_avatar":{"media_id":237778,"full":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot-.jpg","192":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--192x192.jpg","96":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--96x96.jpg","64":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--64x64.jpg","32":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--32x32.jpg","24":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--24x24.jpg","48":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marvels-mugshot--48x48.jpg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writersatlarge.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
