http://www.FolkLure.tv written by Rita MacNeil in tribute to the Cape Breton coal miners. www.ritamacneil.com Coal Miners worked 12 to 16 hr days some were children. Eventually it led to child labor laws in the United States. These pictures were found in the U.S. Library of Congress archives and are mostly from the early 1900's U.S. Coal Mines
Thanks for posting, great song, great pictures, well sung by Ms. Goody. I came upon this while viewing posts about the 1984 miners strike in Britain.
