I appreciate this blog a lot. I've checked up on this blog for 3 years now, and still it fascinates me with history and the old ways of life. Thanks so much for such interesting and detailed stories. I actually hope to write a book one day based off of the cities in the coal region. If you have any book suggestions, I'd be real glad to know- otherwise, I'm doing most of my research on the internet!
Best,
Tina
