Southeast Ohio History Center Lecture Series - The Clash at Sunday Creek

The Southeast Ohio History Center and The Government Channel bring you the latest lecture "The Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion", presented by Jobie Siemer - former Green Beret, Author and Military Historian. Southeast Ohio was a rugged region in the 1800s with an influx of migrants and immigrants who changed the landscape, the nature of life, and the local economy. Nowhere was this more true than in Corning and Rendville, mining towns reminiscent of the Wild West era. Gun duels, scandals, lynchings, and murders plagued these places, as intrepid European immigrants and tenacious Black miners relied on raw grit to survive the rowdy saloons and perilous coal mines. These impoverished workers also took bold stands against affluent mine operators, leading to intense clashes with the Ohio National Guard.
