Blair Mountain battlefield faces historic designation bid
Blair Mountain in Logan County seeks National Register status for 1600 acres. An archaeological study uncovered over 1000 artifacts from the 1921 battle that pitted miners against police and U.S. Army, potentially delaying mountaintop removal while the state weighs federal designation criteria. Massey Energy opposes preservation, fearing mining disruption.
