In the light of current events: “The Battle of Evarts occurred [...] during the Harlan County Wars. The coal miners desired improved working conditions, higher wages, and more housing options for their families. These reasons, along with other factors, led the miners to go on strike. It ended when the Kentucky National Guard was called in to break it up. [...] The 'Battle of Evarts' began on the morning of May 5, 1931. The [mining] company had ordered a motorcade to drive to Harlan to deliver goods to the 'Scabs“ there. [...] The striking miners waited for the motorcade near the Evarts railroad, and as the motorcade approached them, a single shot rang out. [...] The exchange of gunfire lasted for fifteen minutes, with an estimated 1,000 shots being fired. When it ended, the three deputies and one miner lay dead.“ - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Resources used: Song - Rifle Fire - Distant Rifle Fire - Reloading - Car - Car Break - Train - Background - Wojack (Simpler, unedited Version) - Feel free to suggest video ideas in the comments.
