Before it was over, three West Virginia counties were in open rebellion, much of the state was under military rule, and bombers of the US Army Air Corps had been dispatched against striking miners. The civil war began in the small railroad town of Matewan when Mayor C. C. Testerman and Police Chief Sid Hatfield sided with striking miners against agents of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency, who attempted to evict the miners from company-owned housing. \u003ci\u003eThunder in the Mountains\u003c\/i\u003e was the first book-length account of this crisis in American industrial relations and governance, much neglected in historical accounts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lon Savage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822954265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822954262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.45w x 0.50d","brand":"Lon Savage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043056906495,"sku":"9780822954262","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8e0e4e4-a2c1-4945-b5ab-a5ef6572c739.jpg?v=1684965011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thunder-in-the-mountains-lon-savage-9780822954262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
