Glade Is 'Matewan' Historically Accurate? (48) RE: Is 'Matewan' Historically Accurate? 21 Oct 02


John Sayles wrote a book, 'Thinking In Pictures' about the making of 'Matewan' published in 1987.

From 'World Book Encyclopedia' 1999 ed. : 'In 1920, clashes at Matewan between miners & agents employed by operators led to the deaths of 7 company detectives, 2 union members, & the town mayor. This incident is called the Matewan Massacre.'
