I had family involved in all of that. On the union side, and there's still some of that family line that are furious about it.

Hell, there's a branch of us that had a more or less socialist upbringing because of it, though I wasn't part of that directly.

But yeah, I have family in Mingo county that take great pride in the history of it, almost to the point of silliness tbh.
