When Miners March: A First-Hand Account of the West Virginia Mine Wars
This historical narrative offers a unique perspective on labor unrest in 1920s West Virginia, as told by Bill Blizzard, leader of the Red Neck Army. The book chronicles the tensions between union and coal companies that led up to the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest open and armed rebellion in US history.
With previously unpublished family photographs and documents, this account shares the human costs of extracting coal for electricity, shedding light on a pivotal moment in American labor history.
