“Life in the Coal Camps of Wise County,” just released, is a 200-page history book full of details about life in the coal camps.
Local families no longer live in towns owned by coal companies. They no
longer shop in company commissaries or watch movies in coal camp theaters, nor
do their children attend school in the small, remote communities.
Although a handful of the houses, churches, stores and schools that made up Wise
County’s coal camps are still here, many have been torn down as the
communities were sold and shrunk in population. And many of the people who
remember the camps in their heyday are being lost to time as well.
Because of work begun nearly four years ago by the Lonesome Pine Office on Youth
and local high school and college students, hundreds of photographs, memories,
relics of everyday life and news stories from the county’s old company towns
are now available to the public.
