Extracting Appalachia: Images of the Consolidation Coal Company, 1910-1945

by Geoffrey L. Buckley

Book Overview

As a function of its corporate duties, the Consolidation Coal Company, one of the largest coal-mining operations in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century, had photographers take hundreds of pictures of nearly every facet of its operations. Whether for publicity images, safety procedures, or archival information, these photographs create a record that goes far beyond the purpose the company intended.
