Who
was WHO in Carbon County
During
the days when Anthracite was king and the railroads were the modern means of travel, Carbon Co. produced a number of
interesting individuals, some of them truly outstanding. Some were saints, some were sinners, and most
were a mixture of the two. Many were
wealthy, although it was only sometimes that that wealth is what made them so
interesting.
