LibriVox recording of King Coal, by Upton Sinclair. Read by Michelle Harris.
King Coal is a book by Upton Sinclair, first published in 1917, that exposes the dirty working conditions in the coal mining industry in the western United States during the 1910s. As in an earlier work, The Jungle, Sinclair expresses his socialist viewpoints from the perspective of a single protagonist, Hal Warner, caught up in the schemes and plots of the oppressive American capitalist system. The book itself is based on the 1914-1915 Colorado coal strikes. (Summary by Wikipedia)
Reader's note: In Book 4, there is no chapter numbered Section 16 in the public domain Gutenberg e-text. However, no actual text from the book appears to be missing.

Subject:
Classic social novel
One of the most important labor novels of the 20th century and a warning to those who flirt with libertarian politics. An exciting story in its own right, KING COAL also reveals the awful conditions in the early Colorado coal mines. Lots of appealing characters, moral ambiguity, and even a little romance... Thanks to Michelle Harris for a very nice reading.
