Did you know the coal fields of West Virginia were the scene of violence and strife between coal miners and coal company management in the early 20th century?


The West Virginia Coal Wars are often overlooked in US history. It is time that changed.


Several lessons can be learned from what happened during the West Virginia Coal Wars. These confrontations led to developments in labor relations that define collective bargaining to this day. There were heroes and villains, saints and sinners, and a mountain culture that was inexorably changed. It is a story that is fascinating and disturbing at the same time.
