    Your papa should write a book about his life in the coal mine what it was like how life was back then. It’s a dying breed times are changing so much. The future should hear about it.

      I agree!!! We need all the History we can get our hands on preserved. We have lost so much already. It really would be awesome to read your PaPa’s story! Thank you for sharing by

    Oh wow. My dad was a coal miner in Tennessee back in the early 1920's. Dangerous job. He joined the Navy just to get out of the coal mines. He spent 30 years in the Navy. Made a career of it. We visited Tennessee growing up and his nephews were coal miners in Whitwell Tennessee. Thanks for the video. God bless y'all!

    Corey, you're an excellent narrator. It's so nice how you help fill in details and explain things mawmaw and pawpaw may have forgotten.
    One thing your family does is show a lot of love to each other, and really to everyone. 💕😀💕
    Y'all just stay the way you are💕💕💕

    Awesome video - thank you for showing around and sharing. I come from a family of coal miners all over southeastern Kentucky and West Virginia too. Neat statute at the end of the video - my great-grandmother's brother (who was a coal miner too) is buried in Blue Ridge Memorial Cemetery too! :)

    I been there before. It’s an awesome place to visit. I would love to go back. The guy that drove us threw the mine gave my daughter a price of coal to take home. We still have it and that was like 10 years ago.

    I remember as a child you could buy coal in sacks my dad cut wood and we used coal and wood to heat with also had a wood cook stove I miss my parents they always took good care of us kids (5 boys and 1 girl) my older brother and I are the only ones left I miss my family

      Are any of your brothers still alive and are you older than them or where in the order do you stand I was the fourth child

    • @karenbrown2503
      @karenbrown2503 Před 4 měsíci

      As a very young child, my family lived a short time in public housing with coal chutes. I think by then the heating systems had been converted to something else because I don't remember Mom shoveling coal into a furnace.
      There are actually coal mines in Washington State, among other mines, but the only mine I've ever been to is a silver mine in Idaho. They didn't have lumps of silver for sale in the gift shops😂

    @WisdomKnows-zw5xs Před 4 měsíci

    "Coal keeps the lights on! Is right! They used to call it King Coal for a reason. This country was built on it. Many coal fired plants are being closed due to the environment. I live near a coal plant that is converting to natural gas. Coal mining was a dangerous job, but our country was built on it a lot. That's what put food on the table and kept the lights on, folks.

  • @charlottecunningham2141
    @charlottecunningham2141 Před 4 měsíci

    My great uncle was a coal miner in Rupert, WVa. He and his wife, my great aunt, lived in Anjean. Or maybe it was vice versa

  • @MaryAnneNapier
    @MaryAnneNapier Před 4 měsíci +1

    Corey, this was so interesting. As long as I have lived in Wv, I have never been to the exhibition mine. The gentleman you talked to was very interesting. You and Mawmaw are good ambassadors for Wv, because there are still people who dont realize Wv and Va are 2 different states. 😊

  • @danc6436

    My cousin and a friend got killed in the mines in Tennessee when the coal mines exploded and 13 men were killed. So sad.

    • @coreyblake2030
      @coreyblake2030  Před 4 měsíci +2

      That’s so sad but yes it is a very Dangerous job that’s why I’ve never been interested in it, i think losing a finger is actually a common thing for coal miners and my papaw and uncle Delbert have dozens of stories that they have told me about all the times that they have been badly hurt but anyway thank you so much for your comment and God bless you
