Book desription: Morgantown: West Virginia University Press. New. 2008. Soft Cover. 292 pps. Most historians of West Virginia and Appalachia see the "Matewan Massacre" as the beginning of a long series of tribulations known as the second Mine Wars. But was it instead the culmination of an even longer series of proceedings that unfolded in Mingo County, dating back at least to the Civil War? Matewan Before the Massacre provides the first comprehensive history of the area, beginning in the late eighteenth century continuing up to the Massacre. New Book! .
