Kentucky Coal Miners
The coal miner I know comes from a special breed of man who works in the darkness under dangerous conditions and breathes the coal dust that gives him black lung and no hope of a retirement future. The work is dirty and dangerous and many lost their lives due to the neglect of mine operators and poor implementation of State and Federal laws regulating the way mining should be conducted.

All this is so true. In Begium were we lived, it was in a townhouse owned by the coal company, and rented to us. Also about 30 years later here in Canada my dad died from silicosis, even though he only worked for about 5 years in the mine.

I've heard many of stories in the South as I was growing up about the lives of Coal Miners and they we're all very sad stories about the struggles and so forth. This is telling it like it is not bending the truth.

Congratulations on a most compelling true story of the men and working conditions of coal mining. There are a few grammar mistakes that can be corrected with a couple of read- through efforts to make it perfect./joeparente. I'm glad you are bringing these problems to the surface. Joe
