His 22-year military service further shaped his views on social justice, influencing how he interprets historical injustices and contemporary struggles. Unlike using elaborate language, Mathews' writing is characterized by raw emotion, aiming to address pressing issues such as those faced by immigrants, historical injustices, and socioeconomic disparities.

MY FAMILY

Linton Mathew says in the book 'My father, William C. Mathews, entered the coal mines around 1924 and experienced numerous layoffs. However, his final layoff came in 1961. Despite working for more than 22 years, he never received any benefits from the coal mines, nor did any member of the Mathews family. This lack of support doesn't surprise me, considering what occurred between 1919 and 1935 and the years spanning from 1924 to 1961. What goes around truly comes around.’
