A series of events are currently being planned to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Battle of Blair Mountain later this summer.
For several days throughout late August and early September 1921, southern West Virginia was the site of the largest labor uprisings in American history. Nearly 100 people were killed when armed warfare broke out on Blair Mountain in Logan County between thousands of pro-union coal miners and armed forces consisting of deputies sent by Logan County Sheriff Don Chafin, coal companies and the West Virginia State Police.
The battle came to an end when federal troops arrived at the site on Sept. 2, 1921. The uprising is considered to be the culmination of a series of mine and labor wars that had been fought since 1912.
