The Devil Is Here in These Hills: West Virginia’s Coal Miners and Their Battle for Freedom is a work of labor history by James Green that reconstructs the struggles of southern West Virginia coal miners from the late nineteenth century through the early 1930s. Centered on the Mine Wars, the book examines how miners confronted a tightly controlled company-town system in which coal operators dominated housing, stores, schools, churches, and even local law enforcement. Green shows that these conflicts were not only about wages and working conditions, but also about political power, basic civil liberties, and the right to organize. The narrative brings together major episodes such as the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek strike, the Matewan conflict, and the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest armed labor uprising in American history outside the Civil War. It is both a regional history and a broader study of industrial conflict in the United States.
