Reckoning at Eagle Creek: The Secret Legacy of Coal in the Heartland Reissue edition

Set in the ruins of the author's family's strip-mined homestead in the Shawnee National Forest, this book focuses on the largely overlooked human and environmental costs of coal mining in the southern Illinois region and in the nation, beginning with the policies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson and continuing up to the present-day debates over clean energy.
