For 200 years, coal mining had been a way of life in Cape Breton. By 1920 things were looking up: miners were unionized and paid decent wages.

Harry Caudill: A Man of Courage(en)

The nonfiction account of Eastern Kentucky’s coal region, part history and part polemic, eloquently recounted the exploitation of Appalachia’s land and its people by business and government interests, and made Caudill a national spokesperson for his homeland.

His work led to lasting government reforms for Appalachia, and his legacy remains a touchstone for activists today.
