by Bonnie E. Stewart (Author)

No.9: The 1968 Farmington Mine Disaster explains how such a disaster could happen-how the coal company and federal and state officials failed to protect the 78 men who died in the mountain. Based on public records and interviews with those who worked in the mine, No.9 describes the conditions underground before and after the disaster and the legal struggles of the miners' widows to gain justice and transform coal mine safety legislation.
