Out of the Depths: The Miner's Story
- 1984 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
- (Walk through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers, A series, Part 17) Presents the memories of the people who worked the mines in early Colorado freeing the rock for the industrial expansion of the 20th Century--the story of their struggle. They had to wrest the coal from the stubborn earth and their rights from men even more obstinate. The struggle is revealed as miners recall working conditions in the mines of the early 1900's. The events which led to the famous 1913 United Mine Workers' strike and the 1914 Ludlow Massacre are examined. (Deposited by Chevron U.S.A.)
