  • It’s a whole 'nother generation and breed of miner, my friend. Those miners understood the power of collective action and the power they held within the nation as a major contributor to the economy and what essentially made the country move.

No, today’s mining culture is a far cry from those who died at Blair Mountain and fought against Pinkertons.
