---- First 281 pages contains a history of the miners who worked the coal mines in and around Altus, Arkansas....some were from Altus; others came into the area from other towns, states, and countries, and followed the coal wherever it went. In Arkansas,some had worked in Johnson, Franklin, Logan and Sebastian Counties.

a subject you may be looking for (Pg 354 is a photo of a letter from Ruby Glow Mining Company)
----- Book is in very good condition. I see no stains, marks, creases or tears on pages I do feel the edges of a white label that exactly match the white of the interior front pastedown.... the label has a very vague streak on it (hard to see) I show it in the last photo. This is not drastic or severe but noticeable if you look for it. Not certain as to why it is all there. Exterior is without wear.All is present and well attached to a good tight binding.I think you will be very pleased with book.
