Life, Work, and Rebellion in the Coal Fields
Author: David Corbin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781940425795
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Between 1880 and 1922, the coal fields of southern West Virginia witnessed two bloody and protracted strikes, the formation of two competing unions, and the largest armed conflict in American labor history--a week-long battle between 20,000 coal miners and 5,000 state police, deputy sheriffs, and mine guards. These events resulted in an untold number of deaths, indictments of over 550 coal miners for insurrection and treason, and four declarations of martial law. Corbin argues that these violent events were collective and militant acts of aggression interconnected and conditioned by decades of oppression. His study goes a long way toward breaking down the old stereotypes of Appalachian and coal mining culture. This second edition contains a new preface and afterword by author David A. Corbin.

Work and Faith in the Kentucky Coal Fields
Author: Richard J. Callahan
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 025300070X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Exploring themes of work and labor in everyday life, Richard J. Callahan, Jr., offers a history of how coal miners and their families lived their religion in eastern Kentucky's coal fields during the early 20th century. Callahan follows coal miners and their families from subsistence farming to industrial coal mining as they draw upon religious idioms to negotiate changing patterns of life and work. He traces innovation and continuity in religious expression that emerged from the specific experiences of coal mining, including the spaces and social structures of coal towns, the working bodies of miners, the anxieties of their families, and the struggle toward organized labor. Building on oral histories, folklore, folksongs, and vernacular forms of spirituality, this rich and engaging narrative recovers a social history of ordinary working people through religion.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Coal Fields of the United States: General Introduction In anticipation of this action the Geological Survey had begun in 1905 the systematic ex amination of coal fields in the public-land States and by 1908 had made sufficient prog ress in that work to issue the first reasonably accurate map of the coal fields Of the country, on a scale of about 120 miles to the inch. In addition to outlining the coal fields, this map differentiates the areas of known coal from the areas that might possibly contain valuable coal and shows also those areas in which the coal-bearing rocks are under deep cover. On this map the coal fields are classified according to the rank of the coals they contain, or at least three great groups are recognized, namely, (1) anthracite, semianthracite, semibituminous, and bituminous coal; (2) subbituminous coal; and (3) lignite. In addition to delineating the coal fields, the map contains an estimate of the tonnage of coal still remaining in the ground and supposedly available for the future needs of the country.
