Thanks for this, my real introduction to the Battle of Blair Mountain came via an internet friend who bases one of his living history portrayals on that conflict. We’ve had some interesting conversations about numerous aspects of that impression.
I grew up on the foot of Blair Mt. It's a place close to my heart. I spent a lot of nights on top of Blair at the old fire tower that is no longer there.
Behind my old house was a mine with two stone buildings built in 1915 by the Italian masons . The coal company brought in. That was my childhood playground.
I want to say thank you for writing this book. I Left Logan after highschool. It's heartbreaking for me when I return. They have strip mined the mountain and knocked down the building since I left home. Blair mountain is history the world needs to know.
P.S. Jason Frye your friend that told you about "redneck" is an old friend. We set beside each other in Senior year English/Literature.
