HILF 48 - The Battle of Blair Mountain with Peter Breitmayer

Join Dawn and guest, actor Peter Breitmayer (imdb.com/name/nm0106998), as they discuss this little known story from American History. Meet heroes like Sid Hatfield and Mother Jones, and villains like Albert Felts and that murderous cunt, CE Lively. It's a tragic story of labor unions and the powerful monopolists who dropped literal bombs on them - in a page that was missing from all our history books.
