On March 9, 1976, tragedy struck the community of Oven Fork in Letcher County, Kentucky, after an explosion at the Scotia Mine killed 15 miners. Two days later, a second explosion killed another 11 miners and federal inspectors, making the disaster one of the worst in US history. Years of legal challenges rocked this close-knit eastern Kentucky community and raised important questions about the safety of coal mining. Join us today for a discussion with Professor Brian McKnight, who has befriended members of the mine recovery team. He will tell us more about this harrowing event and how the aftermath of the Scotia Mine disaster brought major changes to the US coal industry. Dr. Brian McKnight is Professor of History and Founding Director of the Center for Appalachian Studies at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise. He has written Contested Borderland: The Civil War in Appalachian Kentucky and Virginia; Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia; and “We Fight For Peace”: Twenty-Three American Soldiers, Prisoners of War, and Turncoats in the Korean War. He has served as editor of The Age of Jackson and The Guerrilla Hunters: Irregular Conflicts During the Civil War. Hosted by Dr. Allen A. Fletcher, associate editor of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and coordinator of our Research Fellows program, which brings in researchers from across the world to conduct research in the rich archival holdings of the Kentucky Historical Society. https://history.ky.gov/khs-for-me/for-researchers/research-fellowships Kentucky Chronicles is presented by the Kentucky Historical Society, with support from the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. https://history.ky.gov/about/khs-foundation This episode was recorded and produced by Gregory Hardison, with support and guidance from Dr. Stephanie Lang.
