Orchard Coal Company, an Anthracite Coal Mine near Hegins, PA

I've already shot activity at this mine in 2008, but I wanted to re-shoot the mine using my hi-def camcorder (JVC GZ-HD7). I've also been meaning to use a song by folk artist Van Wagner. His song is called "Bootleg Miner." He has given me permission to use the song for my videos. He has several other songs that I plan to use as well. Look for them in the future. Van's site is here: http://www.vanwagnermusic.com/ My site of anthracite mining galleries is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikonman24/sets/ All video, music, and photos; Copyright 2009. Please email snapabraham@sbcglobal.net for questions about their use for anything outside of these sites. Thank you for your interest. Also, thanks to Kerry Harris at Orchard Coal.

Christian,

Great job! My great-grandfather was a depression-era coal miner in Shamokin, and my grandfather worked Bear Valley. Van Wagner's song gives such insight to that time and those REAL men. Keep up the good work.
