Bloody Harlan

i live in harlan, and everyone thinks their all hillbilly's, i only know of about 3 though

I can still hear the IRISH in these Mountains.......Kentucky slang (Speech) Is an old form of IRISH BROQUE... once that dialect is gone, then it will be missed...so stop making fun of their accents, it is a form of OLD IRISH BROQUE, (Slang) as most call it! ( I was born in KY...KY ROCKS! (JD)Canada

My Daddy walked those picket lines with those men,& my Momma with the women. That is until those sorry gun thugs for the company blew that young man on the picket line's brains out!Left a wife an two little children.Best memory is when those women took switches to the State Cops that the company sent down there because the ladies had laid down in the road to keep the scabs from crossing the picket line. Need some of that backbone transplanted into people today. Thanks, Reb's daughter.

Awesome video, I just found this.

my dad was killed half way betwee harlan and pineville... do any of you remember the man who sold used work clothes to the miners? during the 70s and 80s.... please respond..

awsome job on this video! my daddy was a coal miner here and i remember him telling stores about fighting for the union. Bless you all.

WONDERFUL...........hasn't changed very much over the past 50 years!

If you're replying to me, no that's not my great grandfather. I believe my great grandfather was the county judge. His name was Morris Saylor.

Nice vid. My father was born at Balkan in Harlan County and I was born in Bell County (created from parts of Harlan and Knox counties). This sure looks like home to me!!
