Where do you live Lew? Have you seen this? Incredible history of the Miners in WVA , particularly SW Wva.

 

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/theminewars/

 

When ever Raleigh County is mentioned, that is where I live. I work about 15 miles East of the Paint Creek area

that is mentioned in the video. This was a good show.

WV is having many mine closures in the past few months.

Cheap price of oil and natural gas is making coal too expensive to make electricity.

 

The key counties in WV mining are Boone, McDowell and Mingo.
