Matewan Blood & Coal - Paperback

by Kevin Corley (Author)

In 1920's Matewan, West Virginia, coal miners fight for dignity while the coal company aims to crush them. When the town mayor is marked for death, he asks his best friend, "Two-Gun" Sid Hatfield, to protect what matters most-his beautiful wife, Jessie.

Rooted in real events and brought to life with vivid, unflinching detail, this gripping historical novel plunges readers into the heart of one of America's most explosive labor conflicts, where courage is measured in sacrifice, and history is written in blood. Because in Matewan, no road is straight-and no one walks away unchanged.
