Coal Glen Mine (song)- with photos from the incident
Download a version here: https://soundcloud.com/william-h-durham/08-coal-glen-mine?in=william-h-durham/sets/banjo-and-ukulele A mining song with pictures from The Coal Glen-Farmville Mine Disaster, the worst industrial accident in North Carolina history, on May 27, 1925. The Coal Glen Disaster killed 53 men, made 38 women widows, left 79 children fatherless, made Farmville (Chatham County) a ghost town, and virtually put an end to coal mining in North Carolina. Fingerpicking on an acoustic uke, lead on electric uke. My original song.
