Pretty good overview of coal mining in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but very limited references to Italian coal miners in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, so of limited use to me. Read as part of my research into my Italian family heritage. ( ) no reviews | add a review
This is the first comprehensive history of the anthracite industry and the unique regional culture that grew up with it. It is the story of one of America's first great industries and of the people who made it great-from the miserably paid immigrant mine workers to the powerful coal barons.
