the battles to bring the UMWA and the American Constitution to the West
Virginia coal fields. Written back in '52 when Blair Mountain hero Bill
Blizzard was still alive, this work by his writer/photographer son, William
C. Blizzard sat unpublished for over half a century! Pictures and rare
documents have been added to the original text to make for a great read.
Autographed copies(while he lasts--W.C. is 90 now) are $24, an 8 CD
set(including a superb sound track)$29, just the music$15. Prices include
tax and shipping. Order from ACS, 229 Birtrice Rd., Gay, WV, 25244"
UTNE,
From the Stacks;
February 10, 2006:
"Not only was it written when
some of the key players were still alive, its author is the son of chief
protagonist Bill Blizzard, who led the miners' march and was tried on
treason charges for his efforts."

From
Graffiti:
"Thompson Yee of the Library of Congress
created a new subject heading — “West Virginia Mine Wars 1897-1921” on June
1, 2005. The first two new items cataloged using the new subject heading
were William C. Blizzard’s landmark book, “When Miners March,” and Bill
Richardson’s hit 2004 DVD, “Mine Wars.”
