In 1921, some 10,000 West Virginia coal miners- outraged over years
of brutality and exploitation- picked up their Winchesters and
marched against their tormentors, the powerful mine owners who
ruled their corrupt state. For ten days the miners fought a pitched
battle against an opposing legion of deputies, state police, and
makeshift militia. Only the intervention of a Federal expeditionary
force ended this undeclared war. In The Battle of Blair Mountain ,
Robert Shogan shows this long-neglected slice of American history
to be a saga of the conflicting political, economic, and cultural
forces that shaped the power structure of twentieth-century
America.
