This is a First Class Book and Well written by Jeremy Paxton. I used to be a Coal Miner back in the 1950. So I know all about Accidents in Coal Mines. The Book Black Gold keeps you enthralled right from the beginning. When he describes all the feelings of those families waiting to hear if their loved ones are still alive and you can actually feel those feelings when you are reading. I am so glad that I bought it.
