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.
