A doctor recounts his experiences in Utah coal mining camps from 1937 to 1940. He was employed by a medical fund, which was overseen by a foreman and the local union president, therefore he was not beholden to the company. Some camps had a bartering system for extra services. He relates anecdotes about injuries, accidents, deaths, and births. Widely respected, he also often assumed the role of conciliator. He describes mining methods and the typical compensation. In the summer, when a miner made three dollars, usually one dollar went to the union. Later Dorman attempted to preserve the mining history of four adjacent counties but ran into financial problems and red tape. A discussion follows comparing the work morale then and now. While mining was dangerous and laborious, workers relied on personal know-how and were craftsmen. In modern times the process is so automated that miners take no pride in their work.
