Extremely good format... Looks like a documentary that you would see on PBS. Keep pumping these out and this channel will grow big time... Thanks for sharing n' God bless brother
Another excellent video! Love this part of the state you are detailing . I have a ranch property near here at Soldier Summit (another spot to consider for an historical video)
It was common for the mine owner to pay the widow $500 dollars. My Grandfather owned and was a supervisor for many years in Utah. I have enough stuff to build my own mining museum. Coal mining runs in many Utahans family's blood. Hiawatha, Cleer creek, Scofield and the Horse canyon mine.
While this is true, it's also variable depending on each individual mine company. Standardized widows benefits for miners and workmen didn't come about until 1939. Before that time, widows benefits really were only disbursed to the widows of high ranking officials and executives, or during times of extreme profit and surplus for the mining companies. That's one of the major reasons there were so many miners strikes in the 20's.
I love hearing stories and folklore from Utah and really anywhere. Thanks

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. I'll be using motion graphics more in the future.

That is fascinating. I am 54 and have lived in Utah all my life. I love Utah history.
I enjoy the stories. I have no preference.
@@2nd_of_3 stories are good. Stories will continue.
