If you want an (imho) relatively entertaining high level view of this story, I recommend the Behind The Bastards podcast 2-parter called “The second American civil war you never learned about”.

They do a good job of giving you a sense of the sheer amount of violence that the strikes and strikebreakers exchanged that was for some reason was absent in my public schooling curriculum.

Their episodes on the pullman riots was also pretty decent. Literally the story of why we have Labor Day in the US.
