Hillary and Tina cover the Battle for Blair Mountain and former US Congressional Candidate from New Hampshire, Gary Dodds.
Hillary’s Story
In the early 20th century many coal miners still worked under harsh conditions. BUT, when a group of miners out of Logan County, West Virginia attempted to unionize, the state took the side of the mining companies and this led to the largest armed uprising in the United States since the Civil War.
Tina’s Story
Gary Dodds made a name for himself in New Hampshire political circles and served on the Rye County School Board. BUT, when Dodds disappears in the middle of his campaign, investigators revealed that there may be more to the story than meets the eye.
