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.
