Coal People: Life in Southern Colorado's Company Towns, 1890-1930
By Rick J. Clyne


©2004CHS

This study takes a fresh look at daily life in the coal camps of southern Colorado between 1890 and the Great Depression. It examines the experiences of the men, women, and children who lived and worked in these isolated, company-dominated towns. With the danger of mining coal a daily reality, the fear of death and injury was pervasive-not only for the miners venturing into the earth day after day, but for their dependents as well.
