Historie

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I grew up in Coalwood, West Virginia, which was built for the purpose of extracting the millions of tons of rich bituminous coal that lay beneath it. My father, Homer Hickam, was the mine superintendent, and our house was situated just a few hundred yards from the mine’s entrance.

#2 The company church was set on a little grassy knob. In the 1950’s, it was presided over by a company employee, Reverend Josiah Lanier, who also happened to be a Methodist. The denomination of the preacher the company hired automatically became ours too.

#3 I was proud to live in Coalwood. According to the West Virginia history books, no one had ever lived in the valleys and hills of McDowell County before we came to dig out the coal. I learned most of what I knew about Coalwood history at the kitchen table after supper.

#4 The town of Coalwood, West Virginia, was founded by George L. Carter, who bought the land and built a coal mine. He also built houses, school buildings, churches, a company store, and an icehouse. He hired a doctor and a dentist for his miners and their families for free.
