A Love Story About Two People from the Coal Fields of West Virginia By: Donald Brown Growing up as a coal miner's son, Don often found himself moving around from town to town across the country. There was always a new place to learn and new faces to meet, often making Don long for a place to call home. Who would have thought this hectic lifestyle would lead Don to the love of his life? After meeting Nancy, Don found that home was not a place but, rather, a person. Even though his life as a coal miner's son eventually ends, a new challenge arose that kept him separated from his wife. Becoming a professional solider caused Don and Nancy to endure even more time apart from one another as they continued their journey through life. The relentless couple strives to prove that maybe distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

Johnny McCarthy is a third generation coal miner whose father and grandfather died in the coal mines of Ireland. Johnny digs coal for the Stone Mountain Coal Company in Matewan, West Virginia in the early 1920s. He is staunchly devoted to his family and the coal company based on the loyalties his father has taught him. But in W.Va, he faces the challenge of union organizing, workplace violence, and the difficulty of providing enough food and clothing for his family. In addition, he deals on a daily basis with the dangers of the mine, including explosion, cave-ins, darkness, and rats. And don't forget the low pay in scrip along with the company store, the company preacher, the company school, and the company doctor. The coal miner's son is caught up in the historic choices he must make between hopeless servitude and the life-threatening dangers of joining the union. "Johnny McCarthy, A Coal Miner's Son" is the story of one miner's adventure that takes him beyond the Matewan Massacre to finding out who he really is. No dull passages here. This book is raw, gritty, and filled with suspense. Truly hard to put down.

“The most comprehensive and comprehendible history of the West Virginia Coal War I’ve ever read.” —John Sayles, writer and director of Matewan On September 1, 1912, the largest, most protracted, and deadliest working-class uprising in American history was waged in West Virginia. On one side were powerful corporations whose millions bought armed guards and political influence. On the other side were fifty thousand mine workers, the nation’s largest labor union, and the legendary “miners’ angel,” Mother Jones. The fight for unionization and civil rights sparked a political crisis that verged on civil war, stretching from the creeks and hollows of the Appalachians to the US Senate. Attempts to unionize were met with stiff resistance. Fundamental rights were bent—then broken. The violence evolved from bloody skirmishes to open armed conflict, as an army of more than fifty thousand miners finally marched to an explosive showdown. Extensively researched and vividly told, this definitive book about an often-overlooked chapter of American history, “gives this backwoods struggle between capital and labor the due it deserves. [Green] tells a dark, often despairing story from a century ago that rings true today” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).

It takes on a setting of a coal camp; somewhere in West Virginia during the great depression days. Some of the book is fictitious. Most of the characters were names I had remembered as a child; whether they be real in character or of a fictitious nature, I used them out of due love for the families of yesteryears. Judge Henry S. Cato is a real character in this novel. I had cared for him as his private duty nurse for a period of five years. I feel like I got to know him as a nurse and as a special person. His life touched mine in a many ways, as well as the lives of others.

This is the story of the miners and the union they wanted, of the people who loved them and the people who wanted to kill their dreams. Annadel, West Virginia, was a small town rich in coal, farms, and close-knit families, all destroyed when the coal company came in. It stole everything it hadn't bothered to buy—land deeds, private homes, and ultimately, the souls of its men and women. Four people tell this powerful, deeply moving tale: Activist Mayor C. J. Marcum. Fierce, loveless union man Rondal Lloyd. Gutsy nurse Carrie Bishop, who loved Rondal. And lonely, Sicilian immigrant Rosa Angelelli, who lost four sons to the deadly mines. They all bear witness to nearly forgotten events of history, culminating in the final, tragic Battle of Blair Mountain—when the United States Army greeted ten thousand unemployed pro-union miners with airplanes, bombs, and poison gas. It was the first crucial battle of a war that has yet to be won.
