Description |
The interview with Walter Morgan Donaldson covers the subjects of the Castle Gate Explosion, mining strikes, Scofield Dam, Winter Quarters, the water system at mining camps, lack of baseball games, Consumers, boarding houses, attending school, his father's injury, Standardville, labor troubles, Japanese miners, playing in bands in the mining camps, working conditions, and mine closures. The Carbon County oral history project (1972-1993) consists of oral histories from residents of Carbon County, Utah. While the main emphasis is on living in coal mine country, the interviews are verbal snapshots of rural Utah life from the earliest settlers to as recently as 1993. |
