The Monongah Mining Disaster
Library Binding
(Compass Point Books Jan. 1, 2008)
In the coal minining towns of West Virginia, it was a daily tradition for the wives of coal miners to kiss their husbands good bye as they headed off to work. So, as they did everyday, hundreds of women in Monongah, West Virginia, kissed their men farewell on December 6, 1907. Little did they know what the day held. Shortly after 10 o'clock that morning, an explosion shook the mines and killed hundreds of men and boys. Today, the disaster still stands as the worst mining accident in U.S. history.
