Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum, Romanism & Rebellion in Corning and Rendville
Jobie Joseph Siemer
The Tombstone of Early Ohio
Southeast Ohio's Little Cities of Black Diamonds was a rugged region in the 1800s. Nowhere was this truer than in Corning and Rendville, mining towns reminiscent of the Wild West era.

Author and former Green Beret Jobie Siemer reveals stories of formidable union conflicts and the unyielding resilience of miners whose faith was a beacon in a chaotic struggle to restore order to Sunday Creek./
