Guns of the Battle of Blair Mountain, 1921 Coal Miners Strike, Logan County

Description: Method of payment Guns of the Battle of Blair Mountain, 1921 Coal Miners Strike, Logan County SUBJECT/TOPIC: 2014 American Rifleman Magazine Illlustration - At the time, the second largest armed insurrection in American history, only surpassed by the American Civil War, culminated in the Battle of Blair Mountain, near the town of Logan, W. Va., during the late summer of 1921. Thousands of coal miners, pushed beyond the limits of frustration with the coal mine owners and operators, took up arms and marched from the state capital, Charleston, toward the southernmost county in the state, in a spontaneous attempt to free fellow miners who had been capriciously imprisoned by local authorities for attempting to unionize the coal fields. Rumors of the recently formed state police machine-gunning women and children in the camps of striking miners fueled the fires of their rage, and revenge for the assassination of their hero, Sid Hatfield, steadied their course. When the marching miners met the hurriedly assembled forces of Sheriff Don Chafin at Blair Mountain, they were carrying a wide array of firearms, while the Logan County Defenders, manning the trenches on the top of the mountain, had an equally disparate assortment of guns., to include M1903 Springfield & M1917 Enfield rifles and a Thompson submachine gun.
