Appalachian Coal Mining Memories
Life in the Coal Fields of Virginia's
New River Valley
edited by Mary B. La Lone, with Eighteen Contributing
Researchers/Writers, Radford University |
- In a shining example of university-community cooperation,
students from
La Lone's Economic Anthropology honors class, in
collaboration with the
Coal Mining Heritage Association of Montgomery County,
compiled the oral
histories of more than fifty mine workers and their
families. The
interviewees give, in their own words, a no-nonsense picture
of the joys
and pains of a coal-mining life, and how people in
southwestern Virginia managed their lives during the middle
years of the 20th
century.

- Includes both family snapshots and professional photographs
