Life in the Coal Camp - guest post on author Judy Alter's blog

Pikes Peak Colorado March 2014

I learned amazing facts about Social Life in Western Mining Camps at a lecture last month. Did you know that miners often brought their wives with them to coal mining camps? What was the life expectancy of a Colorado coal miner in 1913? Did children living in mining camps go to school? What was the Colorado Coalfield War about? Join me March 12 as I guest post on award-winning author Judy Alter's blog.
