Listen "The History Project: The Coal Industry - Part 2: The Travail"
Episode Synopsis
After coal became king in West Virginia, out-of-state barons extracted the blood, sweat and tears of the miners, forcing them into indentured servitude with company towns, while leaving them to work under dangerous and sometimes fatal conditions. The travail of the miners and their families set the stage for coal's next chapter.
