Coal Dust in Our Veins by Lawrence Rutherford PDF Summary

Book Description: The coal mine at Mt. Harris, Colorado, opened in 1914. Mt. Harris was a model coal mining camp: the yards were large; there were sidewalks; water was furnished by the mine as was electricity, at 50 cents per room per month; the power went off at midnight; barns were furnished for those who wished to keep a cow. All children who helped clean sidewalks were given tickets to the town theater which was open on Wednesday and Saturday nights, a different movie each time in the show hall. Tickets cost 10 cents each. But in 1958 the once bustling coal town of Mt. Harris was a thing of the past. "I lived in Mt. Harris from my birth in 1940 until I was nearly 18 years old. Maybe Dad was right in saying it was just a dirty, little, coal mining town where there was always poverty before us but, for me, it was a happy time. It was all that Dad said it was but it was also a town connected to a very simple way of a way of life where it seemed that people really cared about each other." Barbara (Rutherford) Martin. This book describes living in that era and in that little town, and a way of life that will never again be replicated in our present age.
