Matewan, West Virginia - The West Virginia Mine Wars Museum tells the story of the violent confrontation between coal miners, as they fought to build their union, and company security guards in the early years of the 20th century. The Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921 was the largest armed uprising in the United States since the Civil War. Many shell casings have been recovered at the battle site
