This review is from: Thurber, Texas: The Life and Death of a Company Coal Town (Personal narratives of the West series) (Hardcover)
Thurber Texas included people from many countries that came to a small town in Texas for work and to make a better life for them selves.As the railroads need for coal went away the people also went away.This is a classic book that tells of a time past,a industry in decline,and the way of the company town.I am from this area and for many years I drove past the smoke stack near the interstate and wondered what it was and why it was there.This books reveals the history of this area and gives good insight into a way oif life gone forever.I can reccomend this book to history buffs and people from this area of Texas with the question "I wonder what that smoke stack is doing there?For history buffs a 9.8 out of a 1
