  • An earlier treatment of this material can be found in Western Coal Mining as a Way of Life which I wrote as a special issue of The Journal of the West (Vol. XXIV No. 3, July 1985). In that presentation the photographs were employed simply as illustrations. It had not yet occurred to me that the miners’ descriptions were antithetical to what was represented in the photographic images. A full description of the oral history and photographic research project can be found in Margolis (1985).
