Kentucky Coal Miners
The coal miner I know comes from a special breed of man who works in the darkness under dangerous conditions and breathes the coal dust that gives him black lung and no hope of a retirement future.

All this is so true. In Begium were we lived, it was in a townhouse owned by the coal company, and rented to us. Also about 30 years later here in Canada my dad died from silicosis, even though he only worked for about 5 years in the mine.

I've heard many of stories in the South as I was growing up about the lives of Coal Miners and they we're all very sad stories about the struggles and so forth. This is telling it like it is not bending the truth.
