    3. "Come All Ye Coal Miners" is probably one of the best documentaries of early coal mining one would ever want to view. It was produced and can be rented through East Tennessee State University. They have a wonderful selection of titles of books and videos listed under Appalachian Studies section of their library. They are or were on line. I do not have the address available right now. Kentucky University (?) also have films that can be rented only by residents of KY or through intra library loans. They have Between Rock and a Hard Place but would not loan it to me in California but did provide me the address where I could purchase it. They too, have a wonderful library of Appalachian videos and books. Come All Ye Coal Miners is a roughly cut and narrated documentary because they used all actual footage and music of the period. It is well narrated. What is wonderful about this film is that it is actual footage and shows what the life of a coal miner was really like. I do not wish to blow you down with the unreasonable cost for renting this film but it is all of $5.00 for a month and these wonderful people at ETSU showered me with praise for doing business with them.
