The mine wars were much more divisive of our people than any so-called
"feud." It was as bad as the Civil War in that respect-or worse. Most of
my ancestors were on the union side. Had I been there, I would have sided
with the UMWA. Not the rotten organization of today-the old UMWA of 1020;
but some of the best men of that generation were on the other side. They
were patriots-grandsons of men who fought in Mr. Lincoln's army--who
really thought that the union was a subversive organization that would
overthrow the government. The shooting of Uncle Ancie while he dozed in a
chair in the vestibule of his hotel-after he appeared before the grand
jury and before the trial-shows that all the right was not on one side.
His death is a continuing testimony that the whole truth never came out.
