They Came to the Mine

By Linda Stevenski

This is a story about a small coal mining town. No town in particular; perhaps in West Virginia, Pennsylvania or Kentucky.
It doesnt matter the location; its just one story of many about coal miners and their families.
Thanks to the brave coal miners, who did and still do, risk their lives every day to give our country coal powered energy.
Time has changed many things for the better. This story happened many years ago; and although fiction, Im sure that somewhere there were similar true events.
