Picked up a book this morning, "Reports of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite Coal Regions of Pennsylvania, for the Year 1879" It was an old library reference book. Original book with all the pages and maps and drawings. I have been looking on the net for it, but have only found the rewritten versions. Great pictures and drawings of old mines and mining tools. Neet reports of mining accidents and such. One report is of a 10 year old who fell into a pit and struck a nail with his head. We have come a long ways since then. Happy Hunting.
