In 1921 Blair Mountain in southern West Virginia was the site of
the country's bloodiest armed insurrection since the Civil War, a
battle pitting miners led by Frank Keeney against agents of the
coal barons intent on quashing organized labor. It was the largest
labor uprising in US history. Ninety years later, the site became
embroiled in a second struggle, as activists came together to fight
the coal industry, state government, and the military- industrial
complex in a successful effort to save the battlefield-sometimes
dubbed 'labor's Gettysburg'-from destruction by mountaintop removal
mining. The Road to Blair Mountain is the moving and sometimes
harrowing story of Charles Keeney's fight to save this
irreplaceable landscape. Beginning in 2011, Keeney-a historian and
great-grandson of Frank Keeney-led a nine-year legal battle to
secure the site's placement on the National Register of Historic
Places. His book tells a David-and-Goliath tale worthy of its own
place in West Virginia history. A success story for historic
preservation and environmentalism, it serves as an example of how
rural, grassroots organizations can defeat the fossil fuel
industry.
