The anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania, 500 square miles of rugged hills stretching between Tower City and Carbondale, harboured coal deposits that once heated virtually all the homes and businesses in Eastern cities. At its peak during World War I, the coal industry there employed 170,000 miners and supported almost one million people. In the 1990s, with coal workers numbering 1500, only 5000 people depend on the industry for their livelihood. Between these two points in time lies a story of industrial decline, of working people facing incremental and cataclysmic changes in their world.
