| miracle at hominy falls: The Miracle Charles Richmond, Nancy Richmond, 2018-09-28 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Hominy Falls Mine Disaster that took place in the heart of the Appalachian coal fields in Nicholas County, West Virginia on May 6, 1968. Twenty five coal miners were trapped in an underground tomb when 15 million gallons of water broke into the Hominy Falls mine from an abandoned work site. For the next 10 days, the attention of the nation was riveted on the small mining community as volunteers worked feverishly to bring the men out alive, a feat which many believed could only be accomplished by a miracle. |

| miracle at hominy falls: Dirt Mary Marantz, 2020-09-15 Dirt is a story about the places where we start. From a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School, Mary Marantz's story is one of remembering our roots while turning our faces to the sky. From growing up in that trailer, where it rained just as hard inside as out and the smell of mildew hung thick in the air, Mary has known what it is to feel broken and disqualified because of the muddy scars leaving smudged fingerprints across our lives. Generations of her family lived and logged in those hauntingly treacherous woods, risking life and limb just to barely scrape by. And yet that very struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life she never dreamed of. Mixed with warmth, wit, and the bittersweet, sometimes achingly heartbreaking places we go when we dig in instead of give up, Dirt is a story of healing. With gut-wrenching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Mary shares her story for anyone who has ever walked into the world and felt like their scars were still on display, showing that you are braver, better, and more empathetic for what you have survived. Because God does his best work in the muddy, messy, and broken--if we'll only learn to dig in. |

| miracle at hominy falls: The Rhetoric of Appalachian Identity Todd Snyder, 2014-06-04 In this work the various ways that social, economic, and cultural factors influence the identities and educational aspirations of rural working-class Appalachian learners are explored. The objectives are to highlight the cultural obstacles that impact the intellectual development of such students and to address how these cultural roadblocks make transitioning into college difficult. Throughout the book, the author draws upon his personal experiences as a first-generation college student from a small coalmining town in rural West Virginia. Both scholarly and personal, the book blends critical theory, ethnographic research, and personal narrative to demonstrate how family work histories and community expectations both shape and limit the academic goals of potential Appalachian college students. |
