The story that emerges is not just a story of long hours, little pay, and hazardous working conditions; it is also the uniquely American story of immigrant families working together to make a new life for themselves. It is a story of hardship and sacrifice, yet also of triumph and the fulfillment of hopes and dreams. Review: great read - Great book - my grandfather was a coal miner in Hazleton Pa - explains a lot about what he went through - a tough life for sure - but they were grateful for what they had. This book is a wonderful read. Review: 88 year-old coal miner's daughter who I call mom swiped this fast read before I could finish.. - What a great resource. Concise simple terms. Easy read. Informative , interesting. Shows a whole different side of the coal mining industry including mine hierarchy. It was a fast read, but not fast enough before I could finish it my 88 year old mother who grew up in a mining town swiped it ! Excellent for school libraries,explaining family history understanding the past, measuring progress and enforcing worker's rights for which these did not have and latter people fought to obtain.

This one is my favorite. It has a very good balance of text and appropriate related photos. It clearly describes the tasks of the various laborers inside the mines and breakers, and life in the mining areas. It includes personnal anecdotes from the workers that help give it life and humor. I found it easy and enjoyable to read, and I learned a lot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4877833-growing-up-in-coal-country](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4877833-growing-up-in-coal-country) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
