Once a Coal Miner: The Story of Colorado’s Northern Coal Field Smith, Phyllis

Description

American History. Many, many black and white photographs throughout the book. This book tells the story of the men who worked the mines of Colorado’s northern field—men who seldom saw the daylight except during the summer when the mines were idle; of the tension the women felt when they heard the long mine whistle that signaled an accident; of the picket lines and scabs; and of bullets and black lung disease.
