SMOKELESS COAL FIELDS OF WEST VIRGINIA

A BRIEF HISTORY

Beschreibung

The Smokeless Coal Fields of West Virginia: A Brief History first appeared in 1963, a little book by a man with no training as either a writer or a historian. Since then, this volume has become an essential sourcebook, consulted and quoted in nearly every study of coal field history.

Autor

William Purviance Tams (1883-1977) was born in Staunton, Virginia, USA and went to work in the coalfields after studying engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg. He launched his own company, Gulf Smokeless Coal, in the new Winding Gulf coalfield in 1908.
