you keep. one fact. that. it's him in december morning and i'm on a bus headed down south from chinatown new york there breathless driver speeds up on the ice who really it's i'm traveling across the states in a snowstorm because of a book. written over despair of twenty years back i'm forced from the mining areas to turn kentucky the book by italians corner. is

a monumental collection of moral history it tells the struggle of the words bills to round mining of coal when amy grants would come to the area to work well paid but often has faded jobs the book tells the story of harlan county that's where i'm going. to bury. this repast. own. land.

i'm headed to the depot mary kom and this book i want to see what's left of the. three years since his first space is now that the us is shifting to major and gas and coal mines for shutting down one after another i do not expect to find a lively city when i drive into the heart of i find a ghost of the city where people are stuck like car terse and black and white picture their stories and their. have not changed much from those recorded by pushed fields research and that they are leaving me in this journey. with. well we really don't know what.

are shallow. i got married when. i was sixteen years old and my husband was seventeen years old and that lead me in myriad about six months then he went into the mountains and then six months after that dad and i went to court next thing. i had two week old son. lady who lived down the street here on me and. killed. her to know what it really. low. where no. company wanted to hold real that's george said also that cole ready for the christmas they wanted him there and we. shot the whole world will

put done much doesn't bring back that old wall it. killed it missed. you know it much. to tell the pope that locket want to do it that shielded it that even if you say it there i would say oh. i. feel. i. i find remnants of demining history older memories of the casualties and the hard labor are alive in the stories told by the young and the like they're not for the glory of collectives childhood and hard work paid off. speaking to the local scene dusty barson saloons you can see that their life was and still is mine

mine is harder now. their collective legend and whether played a part where sid would try to stir survive the war right disappearing before day ice for the rose parade rest. in their sparse brand is a bit of a work first year raises gunshy of but first we have like i mean sixty of them at myers grill so. it was work and i got them as my grandpa grandma a six awful sweater but. that may mean you know you don't want. to. go. in never late he made home

a and at it. he always had peace because you know now with bates the life that you'll say. on. the roof. you won't want to hear that there's no water in the mine and soon you would have to drown through water it would get it over your knees and. the horses would have to pull through the opponent's muna and then they would like to bow folders for tracks sometimes when they'd run out of track people here named were you know anywhere. there's nothing for him today and there have been all the young pay for the turning to. alcohol. and.

if it were someone would have to stay and. say our government would get interested in this place this part of kentucky think we. could make it would anybody if they know they're never dying. out for dos and they say you know that.

the bell person because i was a female so when i would go into ground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this. women coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face will be all black but the coldest since i was a little bit vain so i would have a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it be all clean. so that it but the guys would always be looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines. for its own troops. more and more manalo no. i remember when i was in high school i loved earth science i love the mountains of

anything to do with rocks and my our science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camaro i remember thinking when i was younger that is sydney thing ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. we. tried it it is what. now and it's time to charity. oh not.
