Description:
The interview with Tapia and Tony Hurtado continues on this video. Tapia talks about his family history going back to a conquistador named DeVaca. His grandfather owned much land in the area. He explains that mining was hard to quit. Many started because they disliked school. He picked slate from a conveyor belt for nine hours a day at age 14. They discuss coal mining coming back to the area, new mining machines, and airflow and dust issues. Some of Horace Hurtado's family came from Mexico in 1876. He started mining in 1943 when the population of Cokedale was around 1000. By then, miners were paid in cash and could spend that wherever they wanted. When the mines and coking operation closed, miners were able to purchase their houses. His family has enjoyed weaving for about 100 years, and he built his own loom and shows how it works. They talk about a book that was written about the history of Cokedale.
