Among those the book influenced are Denise Giardina, author of \u003ci\u003eStorming Heaven, \u003c\/i\u003e and John Sayles, writer and director of \u003ci\u003eMatewan\u003c\/i\u003e. When Savage passed away, he left behind an incomplete book manuscript about a lesser-known Mother Jones crusade in Kanawha County, West Virginia. His daughter Ginny Savage Ayers drew on his notes and files, as well as her own original research, to complete \u003ci\u003eNever Justice, Never Peace\u003c\/i\u003e--the first book-length account of the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike of 1912-13.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSavage and Ayers offer a narrative history of the strike that weaves together threads about organizer Mother Jones, the United Mine Workers union, politicians, coal companies, and Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency guards with the experiences of everyday men and women. The result is a compelling and in-depth treatment that brings to light an unjustly neglected--and notably violent--chapter of labor history. Introduced by historian Lou Martin, \u003ci\u003eNever Justice, Never Peace\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible glimpse into the lives and personalities of many participants in this critical struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLon Kelly Savage (1928-2004) grew up in Charleston, West Virginia.
