Résumé

Life in the Coal Towns is a vivid, true-to-life portrait of the men, women, and children who carved their existence out of the anthracite valleys of Pennsylvania. In the early 1900s, coal was king-and the miner's life was its crown of hardship. From the dark tunnels where men risked their lives for pennies, to the breaker boys whose childhoods ended on wooden benches, this book brings coal country to life in all its grit and resilience.
Readers will walk the patch towns, smell the coal smoke on Sunday porches, hear the laughter and music that somehow survived amid hunger, strikes, and loss. Through thirty deeply human chapters, John Frances captures the true story of coal miners: their labor, their faith, their families, and the communities they built against impossible odds. It is not a textbook-it is living history, told in a voice that is both unflinching and compassionate.
This is the story of America's backbone-the men and women who lit the cities, fueled the factories, and left behind a legacy of endurance that still echoes in the hills today.
