Tom Chaney: July 15, 2007. Missing Mountain

Of Writers and Their Books. Review of Missing Mountain
Book review by Tom Chaney

"Mr. Peabody's Coal Train's Done Hauled it Away"
with apologies to John Prine

We Went to the Mountaintop But It Wasn't There -- how fitting a subtitle for the 2005 book from Wind Publications: Missing Mountains!

Two years ago in April 2005, a group of writers met on Lower Bad Creek near Hindman to view the results of mountaintop removal as a method of extracting coal from the Eastern Kentucky coal fields.
