When Miners March is the definitive history of the coal miners of West Virginia. William C. Blizzard wrote the text in the early 1950s while his father, miner's hero Fearless Bill Blizzard, was still alive and able to comment. 349 pages.From Goldenseal; Summer 2006: "William C. Blizzard was born deep in the coal country around Cabin Creek in 1916 and has lived a life every bit as colorful as his family's legacy. A student of journalism and photography, a World War II veteran, and freelance writer, Blizzard has journeyed a long way from the coalfields of his youth. But the legacy of his birthright casts a long shadow."
