From before the dawn of the twentieth century until the arrival of
the New Deal, one of the most protracted and deadly labor struggles
in American history was waged in West Virginia. On one side were
powerful corporations and industrialists whose millions bought
political influence and armed guards for their company towns. On
the other side were 50,000 mine workers, the nation's largest labor
union, and the legendary "miners' angel," Mother Jones. Attempts to
unionize were met with stiff resistance. Fundamental rights were
bent, then broken, and the violence evolved from bloody skirmishes
to open armed conflict. The fight for civil rights and unionization
in West Virginia verged on civil war and stretched from the creeks
and hollows to the courts and the U.S. Senate. In The Devil Is Here
in These Hills, celebrated labor historian James Green tells this
story like never before.
