Hello folks, welcome to our new podcast! Today we get things started with a ghost story. The Reed Gold Mine was opened during the first gold rush, in Western North Carolina, back in the first part of the 19th century. And the mine needed workers, one of whom was Eugene Mills, whose wife, Eleanor, was more enthusiastic about his working there than he was. And that led to some really bad trouble, which we'll tell you about on today's episode.

Blair Mountain in West Virginia is the site of a 1921 pitched battle between coal miners and 3000 lawmen and strikebreakers that actually included aerial bombing of the miners. This battle is the most famous in the mine wars that took place in the coalfields as the UMWA organized the mines against the violent opposition of mine owners. Today it is on the verge of being blasted out of existence by those mine operators. On this episode of My Appalachia, we talk about Blair Mountain's importance and what you can do to help, which is make your feelings known by sending an email to the National Park Service at Blair_Mt_comments@nps.gov . This year is also the 40th anniversary of the opening of the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, and this past Saturday was Bridge Day.
