Title: WV Coal Strikes-martial law-Blair Mountain Post by butlersrangers on Feb 15th, 2019 at 6:38am
I blundered into interesting history and accounts about Coal Miner Strikes in West Virginia at Paint Creek and Cabin Creek, in 1912.
Martial Law was enforced. The list of confiscated arms and ammunition is interesting. Twenty-two model 1892 Krag-Jorgensens & six 7mm Colt 'potato diggers'! Note errors on - '.81 caliber Swiss rifles' - (.41 caliber Vetterli) and spelling of 'Erfurt'. I'm surprised at the detail attempted. |
