Join Perry County native, author, and former Green Beret Jobie Siemer at the Perry County District Library as he promotes his new book, Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum, Romanism, & Rebellion in Corning and Rendville.

<em>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. Gun duels, scandals, lynchings, and murders plagued these places, as intrepid European immigrants and tenacious Black miners relied on raw grit to survive 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.<em>
