Exploring the Depths of Coal Mining History
The citation (Johnson 79) in paragraph 4 MOST LIKELY refers to which source?
It may sound funny, but I still got those same mixed feelings of fear and excitement as the elevator took me down into the cool underground. But once I got out my pen and paper, and the tour guide started to fill me in on what he knew about the mine and its history, it was all business. Much of the machinery and tools the miners had used were still down there. In fact, my tour guide was even using an original "coal oil" lamp to light our way through the mines. The coal oil lamps were one of the most important pieces of equipment to the miners, and each miner had his own special lamp (Johnson 79).
