Matewan Massacre

On May 19, 1920, 13 Baldwin-Felts detectives arrived in the Mingo County town of Matewan on the Tug Fork to evict striking miners and their families from company houses. The detectives, under an intermittent drizzle, forced several families, including women and children, from their homes at gunpoint and dumped their belongings out on the road. Matewan’s police chief, Sid Hatfield, a strike supporter, tried to stop the evictions. At 4:00 p.m., as the detectives prepared to leave, Hatfield, accompanied by Matewan Mayor Cable C. Testerman and a host of angry miners, confronted Al Felts near the Matewan railroad station and tried to arrest him. Felts, in turn, tried to arrest Hatfield. As the men argued, shooting started.
