The New World of Gold
This book was a history of the 1943 coal mining disaster in Bearcreek Montana. The book begins just prior to the disaster giving the reader insight into the daily lives of the miners and their families. Once the disaster occurs, we see how it the families are affected when they find out whether or not their loved ones survived. It also gave an angering insight into the owners of the mine and how they lacked concern for the safety and lives of their employees. Given the latest mining tragedy in West Virgina, I wonder how much has really changed in the industry in 60+ years. I was amazed at the strenth of the families and how the persevered after the tragedy.
