Born and raised in Wilkes-Barre. Truly enjoyed this!

My grandfather and his family worked in the Shamokin coal mines. They came from Ireland by the way of the coal mines in Wales. Brave, tough people.

Love the old mining, loggind,and sailing songs!

I just did this coal mine tour a couple of weeks ago I enjoyed it

That was very informative. Thanks👍

Interesting, thank you....my grandfather worked at the Olyphant coal mine

whos here from NCC

Thank you for sharing. This was very informative. The Lackawanna Mine is the one I haven’t toured yet. I’ve been to the Pioneer & #9 several times and been in some old workings. My Father’s family all came from Wilkes-Barre. After the water was stopped did the ever attempt to retrieve the 12 lost miners? God rest their souls. I was surprised the story on the Sheppton mine accident didn’t mention the one miner who wasn’t retrieved.

Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm awesome video

Very awesome video I’m from the area I live in Taylor pa about 6 mins away from the coal mine tour

I have a safety lamp and carbide light passed down from one of my uncles.

Both grandfathers were miners and at least one uncle who was killed. I was eight years old in 1951 and remember the wake clearly. My Father too was a miner. We were from Dickson City.

Really great movie...Lackawanna Blues

very good.... i was surprised that the visitors were not wearing hard hats and lights..... ps coal miner in australia since 1981

That Lippe character was a son of a bitch. Special place in hell for him.

What are the songs that play in the video

The red barons became the railriders

So they just never found the bodies?

You ought to ask viewers what the short wooden pegs are called that the miners are holding and what they were used for. Only old timers will get the correct answers. Signed...An Old Timer!

What’s the song that starts at 10:41?

F-f-f-freestyler. Lackawana coal.
