| Description |
The interview with Val Turri covers the topics of coming to the United States from Austria, mining strikes, mining accidents, the union, company stores, prohibition, immigration problems, lodges, and the decline of Carbon County. 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. |
