Bloodletting in Appalachia
A book that was sixty years in the making, it is the story of West Virginia's four major mine wars and other thrilling incidents of its coal fields. The title of this book was suggested by a speech made by Old Mother Jones from the front steps of the old State Capitol in the spring of 1912, during the Cabin Creek and Paint Creek strike, in which she said: "But I warn this little Governor (Governor William E. Glasscock) that unless he rids Paint Creek and Cabin Creek of these goddamned Baldwin-Felts mine guard thugs, there is going to be one hell of a lot of bloodletting in these hills." Written by Howard B. Lee. 216 pages.
