Appalachia

A few miles down Ohio 93 is New Straitsville (map, pictures). While the storyline is much the same here, both in the boom and bust of the town, there is a unique aspect that burns even as time marches forward. The volatile relationship between labor and management led to numerous coal strikes. The unofficial birthplace of the United Mineworkers is here in New Straitsville, having been formed at Robinson's Cave.

Here is a link to the Miner's Registry that is maintained by The Little Cities of Black Diamonds organization.

We need to remember all the sacrifices made be these men and women who created the labor movement in the US.
