A Walk Back In Time, A Look Back at the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Area's Anthracite Coal Breakers 🇺🇲⛏️

Hello, & welcome to my channel. This was a fun project for me to do. In this video, I share various postcards/photos/stereoviews & pieces of advertising from my own collection. In this video, I wanted to show scenes from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area solely. I'll do another video on other breakers in the other Anthracite coal fields. I'll also do a video on my Anthracite advertising items.

American Industrial History is my passion, it is my one calling in life. I absolutely love the historical anthracite coal mining era of Pennsylvania. I hold a bachelor's degree in History through Bloomsburg University, also a teaching degree through them (I do not use my teaching degree), I have also completed a good chunk of my master's degree with a concentration in American History specifically. I have not finished it yet because of finances! With this said, I have extensively researched the anthracite mining history of our region through not just print, but also physically as evident from this video. I started in 2003/2004 and it has become an expertise harnessed over decades (a life's work). There's always something new to learn, so please feel free to like & subscribe.

THANKS FOR WATCHING & ENJOY!
