Description
-
Here, we see a group of men loyal to Chafin repulsing an attack by the miners. Lines of temporary fortifications like this extended all along the Logan-Boone county border. Machine guns were used to keep the miners, many of whom had fought in former American wars, at bay. (http://www.wvculture.org/history/labor/mwnews.html)
