Rock 93-7 The Upper Cumberland's Rock 93-7
When the railroad began snaking its way across the Tennessee countryside in the 1880s…the economy grew. Part of that growth…the expansion of coal mining in the mountainous regions of the state. Coal mining grew from about 2 million tons excavated in 1890….to more than 7 million around World War I. The Upper Cumberland…a big part of that industry….in places you MIGHT NOT even know….as coal producing regions. Jason Duke’s studied that coal mining past of the Upper Cumberland.
