Growing Up in Coal Country: The American Story of Immigrant

Growing Up in Coal Country: The American Story of Immigrant Families and Sacrifice in 20th Century Pennsylvania for Kids (Ages 10-12)

Inspired by her in-laws' recollections of working in coal country, Susan Campbell Bartoletti has gathered the voices of men, women, and children who immigrated to and worked in northeastern Pennsylvania at the turn of the century. The story that emerges is not just a story of long hours, little pay, and hazardous working conditions; it is also the uniquely American story of immigrant families working together to make a new life for themselves. It is a story of hardship and sacrifice, yet also of triumph and the fulfillment of hopes and dreams.
