“Ninety years after the Battle of Blair Mountain, author and historian Chuck Keeney took up the fight of his great-grandfather Frank Keeney, one of the most important union organizers during the West Virginia Mine Wars, to help rescue the historic Logan County site from destruction by surface mining. Now, on the eve of the battle’s Centennial, Keeney will discuss those efforts, why we need “sacred places,” and his new book, “The Road to Blair Mountain: Saving a Mine Wars Battlefield from King Coal,” now available from West Virginia University Press.” -description from the video posted on youtube.com
