Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blind Brother: A Story of the Pennsylvania Coal Mines Up in the Lackawanna region a strike had been in progress for nearly two weeks. Efforts had been made by the strikers to persuade the miners down the valley to join them, but at first without success. Then a committee of one hundred came down to appeal and to intimidate. In squads of ten or more they visited the mines in the region, and, in the course of their journeyings, had come to the Dryden Slope. They had induced the miners to go out at all the workings they had thus far entered, and were no less successful here. It required persuasion, sometimes threats, sometimes, indeed, even blows, for the miners in Dryden Slope had no cause of complaint against their employers; they earned good wages, and were content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coal Regions of Pennsylvania, 1848: Being a General, Geological, Historical and Statistical Review of the Anthracite Coal Districts The Coal in the valley of Wyoming was known, and various experiments made to use it, long before any of the adjacent, or other regions in the United States. Had hdan explo re In the years 1775 and '76, several ark loads of Coal were taken down the Suaque hanna river, and hauled to the United States Armory at Carlisle, for the manufacture of fire-arms. This Coal, as we lear'n from the Report of Mr. Packer, was obtained from land belon ing to the late Judge Hollenback, one mile a ove Wilkesbarre, and near the mouth of the mill-stream. The same bed was open ed about twenty years ago, at the place pointed out by the Judge in his life-time, and upon removing the overlaying earth, the marks of tools were plainly perceptible in the Coal seam. In 1768, it is said, this Coal was first used by an ingenias blacksmith, nam ed Obadiah Gore, is settler from Connecticut; and having fully succeeded in applying it to his business. It eoon became the only fuel employed by the blacksmiths in the Valley. It was first used in a grate by Judge Fall, of Wilkesbarre, in the year 1808, who, to use his words, conceived the idea that, if a body of this Coal were ignited, and confined together, it would burn as a fuel; and to try the experiment, he had a grate erected for the purpose, about eight inches in depth, and twenty-two inches long, and the Coal. After being. Ignited in it, burned beyond the most sanguine expectation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the latest mystery from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd, World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford investigates an old murder that occurred during her childhood in India, a search for the truth that will transform her and leave her pondering a troubling question: How can facts lie? Bess Crawford enjoyed a wondrous childhood in India, where her father, a colonel in the British Army, was stationed on the Northwest Frontier. But an unforgettable incident darkened that happy time. In 1908, Colonel Crawford's regiment discovered that it had a murderer in its ranks, an officer who killed five people in India and England yet was never brought to trial. In the eyes of many of these soldiers, men defined by honor and duty, the crime was a stain on the regiment's reputation and on the good name of Bess's father, the Colonel Sahib, who had trained the killer. A decade later, tending to the wounded on the battlefields of France during World War I, Bess learns from a dying Indian sergeant that the supposed murderer, Lieutenant Wade, is alive—and serving at the Front. Bess cannot believe the shocking news. According to reliable reports, Wade's body had been seen deep in the Khyber Pass, where he had died trying to reach Afghanistan. Soon, though, her mind is racing. How had he escaped from India? What had driven a good man to murder in cold blood? Wanting answers, she uses her leave to investigate. In the village where the first three killings took place, she discovers that the locals are certain that the British soldier was innocent. Yet the present owner of the house where the crime was committed believes otherwise, and is convinced that Bess's father helped Wade flee. To settle the matter once and for all, Bess sets out to find Wade and let the courts decide. But when she stumbles on the horrific truth, something that even the famous writer Rudyard Kipling had kept secret all his life, she is shaken to her very core. The facts will damn Wade even as they reveal a brutal reality, a reality that could have been her own fate.
Download or read book Coal River written by Ellen Marie Wiseman and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eye-opening novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan Collector delivers “a spot-on portrayal of a dark time in American history” (Historical Novel Society, Editor’s Choice). Ellen Marie Wiseman draws readers into the Pennsylvania mining operations of the early 20th century—where children had no choice but to work in deadly conditions . . . or face starvation. As a child, Emma Malloy left isolated Coal River, Pennsylvania, vowing never to return. Now, orphaned and penniless at nineteen, she accepts a train ticket from her aunt and uncle and travels back to the rough-hewn community. Treated like a servant by her relatives, Emma works for free in the company store. There, miners and their impoverished families must pay inflated prices for food, clothing, and tools, while those who owe money are turned away to starve. Most heartrending of all are the breaker boys Emma sees around the village—young children who toil all day sorting coal amid treacherous machinery. Their soot-stained faces remind Emma of the little brother she lost long ago, and she begins leaving stolen food on families’ doorsteps, and marking the miners’ bills as paid. Though Emma’s actions draw ire from the mine owner and police captain, they lead to an alliance with a charismatic miner who offers to help her expose the truth. And as the lines blur between what is legal and what is just, Emma must risk everything to follow her conscience. “Wiseman offers heartbreaking and historically accurate depictions of the dangerous mines, the hopeless workers, and their improbable fight for justice.” —Publishers Weekly
