Book Description: "The Battle of Blair Mountain is historical narrative at its best." (Christian Science Monitor) 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. "A mesmerizing, rarely mentioned piece of labor history, crackingly told." (Kirkus, starred review) "Riveting and well researched." (Library Journal) "Concise, dramatic and authoritative." (Publishers Weekly)
