This was a very informational book. The details would make this an excellent text book. The first-hand descriptions are great. Roger Philpot could be writing indepth novels of these times and places and the people effected by them.

Answer

I spent my early years in southern Kentucky and i remember setting in the car waiting for the train to pass by. I would count the coal cars to pass the time, wondering where it all came from and where it was going, never knowing the hardships the miners had until i was much older. I learned many things reading your book and enjoyed reading it. I'm going to be passing it along to my son. He has to pick a subject for his history report.This has everything he needs.

Answer

All this is so true. In Begium were we lived, it was in a townhouse owned by the coal company, and rented to us. Also about 30 years later here in Canada my dad died from silicosis, even though he only worked for about 5 years in the mine.
Answer

I've heard many of stories in the South as I was growing up about the lives of Coal Miners and they we're all very sad stories about the struggles and so forth. This is telling it like it is not bending the truth.
Thumbs Up.

Answer

Thank You..This was my first book. All content was taken from my personal web pages. Which are about coal mining.
Answer

I always knew that miners had a tough life, having seen the news of collapsing mine shafts on television when I was younger. I am sure people will be interested to learn of their plight and the hardships they endured, and still do today in some areas. It is a terrible life and I am glad you were able to document it so well.
