Coal Mining in Appalachia: A Family Tradition
In this project, Stephanie Moore wrote about the importance of coal mining in her family. Both sides of her family had been miners for at least three generations, so she knew there was a long and important history and she was eager to record it.

Taking Lives or Giving Life: The Paradox of the Parrott Coalmines
In this project, Lisa Lisanti interviewed several people from the small community of Parrot, Virginia. The town of Parrot was originally started as a mining community and the men of the town worked in the Little Vein mine in Parrott, Virginia. Today many people who live in the town have no real connection to the mines and so Ms. Lisanti chose to interview people who had lived and worked in the town during its mining days. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

Happiness and Hardship: A Day in the Life of a Coal Miner
Amanda Breeding is a member of a coal mining family and did this project in part to find out how mines have changed over the years, to hear about the pony mines, and to learn more about scrip that miners were paid with. She interviewed her grandfather, Roy Breeding, and the father of her fiancée, Fred Christian- both of whom are coal miners. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.
