Relics of Anthracite in Northeastern Pennsylvania: Volume II continues to explore the former anthracite industry through photography. Deep coal mining in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ended due to the Knox Mine Disaster. Pennsylvania struggles with the ruined landscape of old coal lands and tries to reclaim them into something useful. This volume will touch on the garment/textile industry as a sister industry to anthracite.
