How can I find out who the mine owners were during the Battle of Blair mountain? I’m writing a paper, and I cannot find who the owners were. Articles and books on the subject just say “the coal industry” or “the company” hired the Baldwin-Felts detectives. I know Stone Mountain Coal Corp and the Burnwell Coal and Coke ACP had something to do with it but trying to find any information on the companies has not gotten me anywhere.

Hey guys, I recently acquired the r/martinsburg sub and just wanted to let everybody know that it is back up and running. It's fairly small but I look forward to growing the community so I wanted to reach out to this community since I frequently visit and enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to read and visit/join us!
