about book:
This book has numerous first-person interviews with those individuals who
lived and worked in the southern Appalachian coalfields.
The people tell of their struggles through coal mine tragedies, union wars,
floods, industrialization and often being at the mercy
of the Federal Government. All of these events have formed Appalachia
today. It has prescriptions for reform, celebrations of
things that are worth preserving for the modern world, and paints a unique
portrait of mountain people in their own words.
