hill people

[low_delta]

My paternal grandmother's family originated in the hills of Kentucky. Harlan County. My great great grandfather had a sawmill and was involved in logging. When they set up a small railway to assist with the logging, they were so far from anyplace, that they had to bring the steam engine in through the hills on a wagon.

I've never heard coal stories from the family. This was all in the late 1800's.
