COALFIELD...MEMORIES & SCENES FROM HOME & SURROUNDING A

"The book is based on research done by past and present students of Coalfield School.  The book includes Coalfield, Petros, and Joyner.  These are the areas our students come from.  They interviewed parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends about the past.   Some of these interviews actually began when I taught junior high back in the 1970's and early 1980's.  A few of them were done by my advanced English class in 1990.  However, most of them were done by my students from 1998 until it was published.  The students transcribed their tapes and typed the interviews.  I asked for some historical information from known historians in our community-James Bunch, Bill Jackson, Reece Jones, Armethia Lively, Bill Lyles, Georgia Melhorn, and Florence Worthington (I used her book).  The pictures came from many different people and sources. It was a monumental task and has mistakes."
