Listen "A Historian Learns About: The West Virginia Mining Wars 1912-1921"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know there was a series of violent clashes between West Virginia miners and the mining companies between 1912 and 1922? Ryan sure didn't before starting his research. Ryan goes over all he learned about this wild time. Never did he imagine he'd be reading about actual battles, aerial combat, and a kindly old figure named Mother Jones. The West Virginia Mining Wars would make a perfect action movie. Hopefully, you enjoy the story as much as he did!
