Here are some final excerpts from my documentary "In My Grandfather's Footsteps".

This excerpt has to do with the tragic death of a young coal miner at the Pageton Coal mine in 1938. The coal miner was Mike Valach, the brother of our friend Johnny Valach.

I end this blog with an excerpt from the beginning of my documentary. It is my interpretation of what it may have been like for my grandfather, Lajos Kover, to leave home in Hungary and sail for the coal fields of Pocahontas, Virginia in 1901 at the age of 18. Due to size limitations by YouTube, I could not include the entire sequence.
