...unabashed union buster. It's not just that it has a record of safety and environmental violations that is exceptional even by the standards of the coal industry. It's not just that Pittston was criminally negligent in the 1972 flash flood that destroyed sixteen West Virginia towns along Buffalo Creek, along with 125 of their residents. It's not just that Pittston got off the hook for the Buffalo Creek catastrophe with a miniscule $13.5 million settlement by allegedly using its influence with the corrupt administration of former West Virginia Gov.

Fort Union served as a linchpin in John Jacob Astor's lucrative beaver-fur and buffalo trade with the Assiniboin, Crow and Blackfeet Indians. In its halcyon days, which lasted a quarter- century, the post dominated the upper Missouri from behind an elegant, whitewashed palisade. Annual steamboats brought artists and ethnologists. The bourgeois, or superintendent, maintained a splendid table, and French wine flowed in an imposing residence topped with...
