Appalachian Coal Mining Memories describes life in the Coal Fields of Virginia's New River Valley. Fifty-one interviews with sixty-one different people who tell about their lives as coal miners, as wives of coal miners, and as daughters and sons of coal miners. Appalachian Coal Mining Memories is illustrated with photographs and maps to help bring alive a period of time that is not only long gone, but almost forgotten -- a time when Coal was King. Appalachian Coal Mining Memories is about a time when men spent their days hundreds of feet underground, hacking away at the rock containing a mineral that was not only fuel for their homes but the source of their income and security, while their wives and children tended chickens and hogs, weeded gardens, picked huckleberries, sewed quilts, baked biscuits and pies, and attended school. Appalachian Coal Mining Memories is about a group of people who had a hard life, but who remember those days with warmth and pleasure. Appalachian Coal Mining Memories is a true and rewarding study of a small slice of American life, now gone and all but forgotten save for the memories of those who still linger, and the regional histories for the remembrance of generations yet to come. -- Midwest Book Review
