Rednecks

"During the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, around 10,000 miners from all races revolted against the mine owners that fought their union, the government (which sided with the owners) and the state militia. It was the largest labor uprising in American history, and it was a violent, important chapter in the fight for worker protection. Rednecks is a superb historical novel that mixes real people with fictitious characters to bring this story to the page in outstanding detail – and with vivid scenes that will stay with readers long after they finish the book."
