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 dishpan of twenty years back and forth from the mining areas to eastern kentucky the book by a time in school or. is a monumental collection of moral history it tells the struggle of the words bills to round mining of coal when amy grants were to 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. this is a part of the. land . to the depot mary and this book. i want to see what's left of the. three years

since this first base 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 hard i find a ghost of the city where people are stuck in my car turned in and black and white picture their stories and there. have not changed much from those recorded by pushed. research and that they are leading me in this journey round. or. well when i really don't know what he'll be. back with person because i've been in thirty. plus at least two if we.

drove there. were. no ma'am. then i was. but i am pray and pray from their place now it's. like appalachian mountain but. appalachian now even with even. greater. crime are far more false. are shallow. i got married when i was sixteen years old and my husband was. seventeen years old and the lean mean

myriad about six months when he went into the mountains and six months after that down and i went to court next thing. i had two week old son. lady who lived down the street here only. killed. vertebra you know what it really. low. where no. company wants to poll real it's gorgeous at all for the coal ready for the christmas they would in their. shop the whole world will put down it was done back to that old wall. rope keothavong if. they know it much. to tell the pope

that look it went through to it that. shielded. that if if you see. where i was fairly. soon. i. i find remnants of the mining history or longer memories of the casualties and the hard labor are alive in the stories told by the young and the like they're not had just for the glory of collective struggle and hard work paid off. speaking to the locals barson saloons conceded their life woodson still is mining mines hard their narrative their collective legend and whatever. played

a part where said when try to steer survive the war right disappearing before day i ask. for the rose parade rest. in their stride branded a bit of a work first see a racist god shield but diversity of life when sixty of them miners grow. it was work and i got them as my grandpa grandma a six awful sweater. but the green. will. go. in every lady may add. he always had peace because you know now we've made the life that you'll say.

the truth. you won't want to take you to the water in the monsoon you would have to drown through water it would get it over your knees and. the horses would have to pull through the. and then they would lay to balfour's for tracks sometimes when they'd run out of traffic people here named were you know anywhere. there's nothing for them to day and there have been all the young pay for the turning to. africa. and. if we were some one would have to stay and say our government would get interested in this place. this article you think we. could

make it about if they know their neighbor day. for dos in this say you know that.

mr potter. eight point seven downtown weisberg this is johnson brains in arcade until ten o'clock tonight so i'm talking with some of the best music of two thousand and thirteen rendon playing the song but all. use. is holding its all. in one nine hundred eighty eight was the first woman to work in this one particular mine and my job was what they called the belt boy and then they started calling me the belt person because i was a female so when i would go into ground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this woman coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face. this 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 was the all clear. 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. it's all true. 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 earth 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 if anything ever happened to the coal mines here 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 happens. we. did what. now and it's time to check. a load of. thing.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. with lawmakers manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect them so. when the final merry go round be the one percent. tonight we can all middle of the room signals. from the real news is.

president because he has case this story about and that will continue until the price reaches the librium point caught one hundred thousand per client or you'll be seeing it more used as a medium of exchange at some point then becomes a unit of account as things are priced in bitcoin as money disappears.

i was for the code is looking for the past from. the press trouble still going or. maybe go with the terms of the unions but for instance right now in terms of your buyer. that you came out of. and nobody's ever filed to go get me in mind and you're wasting your time and they threw and very evil people you know they do things to fame these and they do things to the young and the. officer if you notice even sees him in the never never seen pictures. of my. own kentucky county it's hard learned produce the most coal at a time in which most of what power do united states came from kentucky.

today the thirty three active mines in harlan employ less than two thousand. some of deals mines have even been converted into museums. laid off left with nothing since the ninety's manny laid off was for they don't see any other options third in the she'll hang out some time on employed and are the usual customers swell her uncanny was founded on co and there's a reason harris county was feeling the series and. that is our encounters live if they squeeze one more and get me into the building code and they get cold there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason mondays because because there's in the mountains

we don't have the road boys and it's the largest same interest in me and in a way in that. i go flip hamburgers at the local mcdonald's or i go down here peace joy and make pizza. well that's not something i'm deals over horrors boom boom voices. people want fanny's removed if you did more to get run over people goes both ways you're still being. told many stories and very strong and numerous give more for their buys every way home will. continue these days i'll give you it is the man is the only. person sooner and it will go to future not. to come out of uncles that were good examples of this work and to save these we now stack in years and years. and they tell me not to get too comfortable and be coming out of the know what i'm doing. because i don't

because i'm in here and you know other than for your ego i'm going to go things. to the window while you're both really rich or they will be with growth rates of below . zero we're now in the home. as i was eighteen years old it was around again at. work in a coma for five years underground to hear service from a. waiter here and. take. my two hours and thirty cents an hour rusty it was insistent how much around anymore. it was are very few. years not as much money in the time. for my doing here i just got out of jail my. possession of stolen

property. i'm not good. jails jail. as of. now good. pages three times a day. it will. be for t.v. . knowledge but. i don't mean all those things you. need you. here with me. no. good so. when. you go up down. this well i was a teenager smiths and joneses creek this is two of the roughest places for it so the story carried a pistol in us. enough carried when it was serious the steel. wool

learned later oh i just tell him that way and meet. i'm the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want to madge and we have some motorcycles smoking the mining equipment like us say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shutting down makes it

difficult to sell that stuff because these were so these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying that. line. here. where all of them are very accounting. ever. in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces of the turbulent past there once made harlan the tories. the county is still mostly dry and was one for years people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are in the rice a cursed painkillers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now i'll ask a prime d'antin yes. there's a lot of people here this is a big fish and or

a. nurse said yes and yeah yeah very much anything there makes me feel better and they think it makes them feel better. we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. maybe not just from drug use and. that is a problem when i say guinness get spiration try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know all the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new alcohol. you're talking about the forty inch in the. forty's and fifty's. so in the fifty's well we made lucia so. you're into silver we pay cocoa berries but the race will be able to hope for as we carry it for a zillion yourself or dollar again. the black berries will we got

a quarter again we get a lift you know all. muddy from their. clothes and some food for them where they're . mostly what with troy in the food was corn meal lowered. so they would go if it they'll be withheld so. flat. in the beginning that would only have to take a few hours and they wanted them last and it towards the end of maryland state. found its way in. and maybe before they switched. to the ones in jail. i went for my feet you know and they hand it to sales now and they have your jobs around coal mines. shut him down while the coal mines are said.

live to the mines is alive in nature in a van with people. in poverty. it's no more. i walk the same road sign the sounder push timely walk three dead. and works from the opening pair. after his book come to my mind. it was nineteen eighty eight my fifth visit to harlan county i was on the winding road from harlan to our birds driving a borrowed pickup truck when i began to notice the road kill it was a dangerous road with more than its share of adventures drivers and it was getting dark. i began to think of the many ways in which that was a presence in this land that any more of their road accidents and of course the corn mines beyond and black.

returning to new york leaving behind harlan in an endless rain. i tried to put together the pieces sober remotes were to i only got a glimpse off. my own with wonder where all that energy came from. the energy that lights up. there was a levy his whole bar is worth what hurt is a little girl's great. dad he plays away. with. it don't go to the. bar dream. come true. oh oh daddy dear daddy plays away where you have a good. let
