Paint Creek - Cabin Creek Strike! REVISITED

In celebration of the 100 anniversary of the Paint Creek - Cabin Creek Strike, West Virginia Archives and History held a panel discussion on the strike on September 22, 2012. During the year-long strike, martial law enforced by the West Virginia National Guard was declared three times and dozens of civilians were tried by military commissions. The strike also included the house arrest and detainment of labor activist Mother Jones and use of the infamous Bull Moose Special, a machine-gun-equipped and armored train that fired into a tent camp of striking miners and their families. The Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike drew national attention and resulted in a U.S. Senate investigation into conditions in the area. Kenneth R.
