King Coal

The story of the southern West Virginia “smokeless” coalfields is a remarkable legacy of working-class culture, industrial might, racial and ethnic diversity, and the creation of a unique and distinctive culture of national significance. The "COAL Pack" is inspired by the bustling rail and coal days of southern and now northern West Virginia.
