The Knox Mine Disaster, January 22, 1959 by Robert P. Wolensky PDF Summary

Book Description: Tells the story about hard coal's demise in the northernmost of the 4 anthracite fields in PA. Many mistakenly believe that the disaster, suddenly and by itself, caused the death of the industry. This book argues that the story is much more complicated than that, and that the demise of anthracite is, in fact, a sordid tale involving greedy individuals, lax inspectors, and irresponsible corp. and unions. Documents the events surrounding the break-in of the River at the Knox's River Slope Mine; looks at blame and responsibility; looks at 2 explanations for the catastrophe; and examines the public and private sectors' efforts to remake the post-anthracite economy. Photos.
