My book Digging Dusky Diamonds https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/162... is about the lives of coal miners in Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region. And Hear the Whistle Blowing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07... is about railroading in the coal region. Much of my fiction is also set in the Keystone state.
