Description
A young mother holding her baby sits beside her husband in front of their house. The house is built off the ground and logs can be seen holding the house off the ground. From studio portraiture to candid location shots, the William O. Trevey Glass Slide Collection documents the daily lives and labor of coal miners, primarily in the New River Coal Fields of southern West Virginia, at the turn of the Twentieth Century.
