Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and fascinating account of the coal resources and geology of Tazewell County, Virginia, a region at the heart of the Appalachian coal fields. The author, drawing on extensive fieldwork and historical records, meticulously maps the region's geological formations, from the Devonian and Carboniferous systems to the Pennsylvanian series, where the prized coal deposits reside. The book explores the complex geological structures, including the Dry Fork anticline and the Boissevain fault, which have shaped the landscape and influenced the distribution of coal. It charts the history of mining in the region, detailing the early exploration of Captain I.A. Welch, the pivotal role of the Norfolk Western Railway, and the devastating explosion at the Pocahontas mine in 1884. The book provides insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with coal mining, highlighting the importance of accessibility and transportation infrastructure for the development of the industry. The author's meticulous documentation of coal beds, their characteristics, and their potential for economic exploitation offers valuable historical context for understanding the evolution of the Appalachian coal industry.
