We've had some people ask us about the two men featured on our truth about bloody Harlan thumbnail, well this is the one on the left side of the picture, he's still living and he's telling us a little about his time in the Harlan County Coal fields. If you would like to watch that video this is a link to itczcams.com/video/obKQy_mKaXw/video.html
My grandpa's worked in the mines and more of my family. So did my dad for some year's. Thankful is became an electrician out of mines.Heard some sad stories about coalminers. Some gave their lives working in the mines. Some suffered black lung an awful disease. Thanks for sharing these stories with us.
My favorite video you've done. You definitely need a part 2 with this wonderful man. Lost both of my Grandfather's to Black lung. Thank you so much for this video. God bless him and his family anf the Coyote's and theirs. Well done.
This was an AMAZING interview! I so enjoyed listening. I feel for Mr. Mack. I lost my Papaw Milford Partin, several years ago to black lung from working in the mines in Harlan County. My heart breaks for the lives lost in the mines.
coyota thank you for this video . i could talk to that man all day i was born and raised on crankscreek and hearing him talk about a wilcox miner that stuff makes my day
Awesome interview with this great man Coyote's! Great hearing his story of the hard mining life! One of my good friends was a electrician in the mines and the stories the miners have to tell are horrendous but yet so interesting also! Makes me glad I got into the auto industry instead! Thanks for letting him share his story with us!
I can relate to this gentleman very well . I had worked at 3 of the places he mentioned he had worked . I have worked coal as low as 24 inches , and it will make an old man of you very fast . He said he wouldn't do it again , well if I had known of the aches and pains I have in my old age , I would never do it again either . Needless to say hindsight is always 20-20 . Very good video , thank you .
Thank you for making this video and sharing with us subscribers to this wonderful CZcams channel a hard working man 👍🇺🇲 God bless y'all love this video ❤️
This is one of your best videos Mr Coyote!! Love to hear all Mack’s stories about mining ! It takes a special kind a man to do that work!! People that use the energy from the coal don’t understand what it takes to get that energy ! Really makes me remember my Papaw who worked the mines in Harlan years ago . Thank you for Mack, hope to hear more !!
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. My step grandpa was a miner for 40 years in Stonega Va. Reminds me of some of his stories. He said one night him and his crew showed up for work while going back in the saw a ghost . he stopped and headed back out with crew later that night it caved in
Spent some time with my parents today catching up on the videos we’ve missed. We’ve had a lot going on but we will be watching all the videos we’ve not seen. It’s always good times spent watching your videos! Daddy also worked in coal and really enjoyed This interview. He worked a lot in Harlan County back in the 70’s.
It takes better people than me to work in a coal mine. My grandfather worked briefly in a coal mine, got freaked out and quit...this was in the late 1920s....he told a lot of scary stories about it...
My Dad worked in the miles in Jenkins after WW II. I was a little girl then and remember him coming in from work and all l you could see was the whites of his eyes.
Thank you so much for this video I always wondered exactly how my cousin louie was killed in the mines and to here what my cousin mack said told me all I needed to know again Thank you
Was the Harlan County deputy sheriff Wilson McClain who was killed in Virginia in 1976 a relative of yours? If so we did a video about him that you may be interested in, here's a link to it. czcams.com/video/FyTnm2yysGc/video.html
My daddy was a coal miner. A big rock fell on him when he was in his 20’s. It didn’t kill him. It crippled him though. But he went right back in them and retired from them.
Wow. As many people as have been seriously hurt in the mines its a wonder there is any thing called Friends of Coal. Why would anyone think they were a friend. Maybe its just the coal operators

God bless you for this one!! Many of my folks were coal miners..most moved up to Michigan in 1943.
Thanks!
My grandfather Goat cash worked from 1929 to 1982 in the mines here in the sequatchie valley tn
I'd certainly encourage you to visit with him again for another interview..
Absolutely great video

I agree with your grandfather Scott,, it took one look into the mouth of a mines to show me that wasn't a career choice for me.
My Dad worked in the miles in Jenkins after WW II. I was a little girl then and remember him coming in from work and all l you could see was the whites of his eyes.
So so sorry about his brother
Harlen coal miners are some of the toughest
I love old timers cause I’m one great video
Good video!
Thanks Jack!
Ive never worked a Wilcox section
Thank you so much for this video I always wondered exactly how my cousin louie was killed in the mines and to here what my cousin mack said told me all I needed to know again Thank you

@@IgnitedCoyote he was my dad and I saw that video I didn't know our family cemetery was that run down I hope some of my family has cleaned it up
That gentleman looks familiar. I've probably seen him back then.
He's a lifelong resident of Harlan so I'd say there's a good chance you've seen him around.
My daddy was a coal miner. A big rock fell on him when he was in his 20’s. It didn’t kill him. It crippled him though. But he went right back in them and retired from them.
I didn't see this video until now. I'm watching it. I'm thinking about my daddy.
Both my grandpas had black lung too
My papaw was killed in mines and my other papaw died with black lung
My uncle Bill noe was killed in that mines
Wow. As many people as have been seriously hurt in the mines its a wonder there is any thing called Friends of Coal. Why would anyone think they were a friend. Maybe its just the coal operators
