Did you know that an estimated 5,000 blacks were an early and integral part of the California Gold Rush? Did you know that black history in California precedes Gold Rush history by some 300 years? Did you know that in California during the Gold Rush, blacks created one of the wealthiest, most culturally advanced, most politically active communities in the nation? Few people are aware of the intriguing, dynamic often wholly inspirational stories of African American argonauts, from backgrounds as diverse as those of their less sturdy- complexioned peers. Defying strict California fugitive slave laws and an unforgiving court testimony ban in a state that declared itself free, black men and women combined skill, ambition and courage and rose to meet that daunting challenge with dignity, determination and even a certain elan, leaving behind a legacy that has gone starkly under-reported. Mainstream history tends to contribute to the illusion that African Americans were all but absent from the California Gold Rush experience. This remarkable book, illustrated with dozens of photos, offers definitive contradiction to that illusion and opens a door that leads the reader into a forgotten world long shrouded behind the shadowy curtains of time."

Excerpt from Facts Concering the Struggle in Colorado for Industrial Freedom: Series I When Vice-President Hayes, of the United Mine Workers of America, came to Colorado in August, 1913, and for several years prior to that date, conditions in the coal mining fields, except in a comparatively small district immediately north of Denver, had been satisfactory to both miners and operators. In August, 1913, there were employed in and around all the coal mines of the State, 12,059 men. About 60 per cent., or 7235, of these men were engaged in actually, mining coal; 40 per cent., or 4823 men, were otherwise engaged in the industry. Those employed as miners never worked more than eight hours a day. Many worked less, or not at all, as they saw fit. Those employed in other capacities than mining coal worked never to exceed nine, and in most cases eight, hours a day. This is in accordance with a statute of the State. The total monthly earnings of these miners was and is astonishingly large compared with the wages paid for work requiring no higher degree of skill or experience in other pursuits. For the year ending June 30, 1913, the mines operated by The Victor-American Fuel Company ran an average of 2341/2 days; the average wages of all miners for the year was $1100.75; the average daily earnings of all miners was $4.01. For the same period, the mines of The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company ran an average of 2481/2 days; the average wages of all miners for the year was $999.36; the average daily earnings of all miners was $4.02. The mines operated by the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company ran an average of 231 days; the average wages of all miners for the year was $1007.01; and the average daily earnings of all miners $4.36. It has been said that "the earnings of an average American family (of which two members are employed) are less than eight hundred dollars a year." An industrious and experienced coal miner can average at least $5.00 per day, or approximately $1250.00 per year, in the mines of this State. Many have done much better than this.

“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).
