To the men and women that work tirelessly in and out of the mines and to the six men trapped in the Crandall Canyon Mine in Huntington, Utah. Photo essay on coal mining in Appalachia. All photos by Jenn Ackerman www.jennackerman.com
yeah buddy watch what ur typring some of us make a linving by god and make a damn good one at that doing this every single day so learn a little bit of history and family roots before opening it.
BLESS ALL COAL MINERS here in kentucky virginia and anywhere they are strong good people who work hard in a dangerous job to take care of their families i come from a coal mining familiy i know all the dangers and seen alot of good friends hurt terribly bless all u coal miners the backbone of the appalachians
my family is frm logan and redjacket, beech creek, my grnadpa died from the coal mines of black lung,i still have alot of family who works in the mines and i think of them alot,wondering if they are going to make it out alive. country folks are the best.glad to see someone on here that is from the same place my family is from
If you lived in this part of the country, you would have a different opinion of coal miners. For the people in the Appalachians, it is sometimes the only place to make a decent living for your family. My grandfather was a coal miner, and he died from black lung disease that progressed into cancer. How do you think you get electricity? Most electric power plants run on COAL.
Coal miners are not asking to have a death wish there are simply asking to be the provider for there families and giving many people that don't understand there jobs light and energy everyday. Coal miners in my eyes are my everyday heroes and that's the way they should be thought as.
logan west virginia is a, hundred miles behind. coal mine took my boys life and my janies piece of mind. but all i know is back in logan and i ain't ever been that smart. i knew i had to leave here, to heal my janies heart.
