On Vacation – NC, VA, WV, OH and Back

By Michelle Malay Carter on July 12, 2009 

I’m on vacation for the next 10 days.? We drove our first leg of our trip today and took a tour of a nonactive West Virginia coal mine.? My forefathers made their living doing this.? The pay was 20 cents per one ton coal cart loaded without rock.? If the inspectors found rock, they would dock your pay accordingly.? I have the highest respect for my forefathers who endured this grueling work to put food on the table and pave the way for their future generations.? Well done.?? Thank you.
