The Fight for Coal Mine Health and Safety
A Documented History
By Ken Hechler
“In this era of justified cynicism that our Congress is bought and paid for by corporate money and that the concerns and needs of ordinary citizens are routinely ignored by our legislators, it is refreshing to recall a time when one Congressman took on the most powerful interests in his state, pushed aside any worry about his personal safety, and willingly jeopardized his political career by standing up for the coal miners in his district and coal miners throughout the entire nation. The Fight for Coal Mine Health and Safety is a reminder that one person under the right circumstances can produce epic and lasting change.” —Joseph A. “Chip” Yablonski
7"x10", 406 pages, 3 photos, includes the complete text of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969,

The Durbin Route
The Greenbrier Division of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
by William Price McNeel
From the corporate point of view of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the Greenbrier Division was only one of many branch lines and probably thought of mainly when it was time to add up the annual balance sheet. However, in relation to those who have known this rail line, it filled a number of rolls. To several generations of railroad men, it was the location of their jobs. To the people of the Upper Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia, it was for many years their vital economic lifeline to the rest of the nation.
