Robert P. Wolensky, Kenneth C. Wolensky, and Nicole H. Wolensky, 1999. The Knox Mine Disaster is much more than a history of an accident - or an industry for that matter. Because the book draws on the recollections of miners and their families, industry officials, and individuals involved in the legal aftermath, it is an epic drama that is as spellbinding as it is sensational. Candid photographs of members of this cast of characters lend a human element that overshadows the gaping hole in the riverbed, the billions of gallons of water that crashed through it, and the tons of twisted equipment and machinery. 164 pp., 6x9, index, appendix, notes, charts, illus. paperback
