reviewed Coal Miners' Wives: Portraits of Endurance on March 31, 2011 Coal Miners' Wives: Portraits of Endurance
After reading a half-dozen of these historical accounts of the mine wars I've come to a consensus on them. There is little positive to say about mine owners. Their greed and disregard for the condition of their workers drove these men and their families to the breaking point. This area of West Virginia is most justified in their distrust of government and strong support of gun rights. Lessons for today? Will the burgeoning gap between the haves and have-nots lead to a similar schism?
