Barrack town in northern WVa coal fields, ca. 1924

One of the barrack towns erected to house evicted miners and their families in the northern W.Va. coal fields, ca. 1924 Lee captioned the photo: Barrack town of striking miners in northern field. This was probably in either Marion or Barbour County, WVa. This was the last phase of the WVA mine wars that crushed the UMWA in WVa for decades.Published in Bloodletting in Appalachia, by Howard B.
