What better way to kick off Season Five than by getting down into the weeds on some regional history!? This month the guys are speaking to Jake Wynn about the proud, but controversial history of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and the Coal Miners strike that occured there during the Civil War.
For those who have spent some time with the Civil War, Schuylkill County is likely a Pennsylvania County you have heard of before. Famous for its coal mines and miners, the county was torn between trying to put men in the field and keep coal coming up out of the ground. This led to resentment and then outright resistance by the miners themselves. So join us as Pat and Matt dig deep into this story with Wynning History's own, Jake Wynn!
