Here is an excerpt from the text:
Most miners had taken to wearing blue bib overalls and tying around their necks a red bandana which soon became the hallmark of the insurgent army, leading both friends and foes to refer to them as “rednecks.”
Over 1 million rounds were fired and the coal operators used airstrikes with surplus WWI bombs.
You don't want to be known as a union sympathizer do you ???
