Title

White Brothers Coal Mine, Adams Township, Iowa, late 1800's; Mahaska County

Description

This is a picture taken at the White Brothers coal mine in Adams Township, Iowa, in the late 1800's. Many communities, like the ones in Adams Township, have little or no presence in Mahaska County today. Once the coal industry diminished, the people in communities like Givin did not see the need to be there anymore and left to find work elsewhere.
