        If it’s anything like the Battle of Blair Mountain we’re overdue for a reminder.

          I wanted to keep it regional, but yea this lumber war is known for the Grabow massacre that killed 3 union members and wounded 50.

          The overarching coal wars (to those just now learning about this, yes there were multiple) in general are fascinating. Bloody Harlan is another good example

        Seems pretty optimistic. All of the other history repeating itself lately seems to indicate that they’ve learned from past mistakes.
