My book Digging Dusky Diamonds https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/162... is about the lives of coal miners in Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region. And Hear the Whistle Blowing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07... is about railroading in the coal region. Much of my fiction is also set in the Keystone state.

There are plenty more, but I'm running out of time. I'll try to add more at a later date.
