I was going through a chest that my mother dropped off at my house just after my Grandfathers death in 2014. As I was going through the chest I found a VHS tape called “Spring Canyon Coal Camps”. This tape was of my Grandfather Fiore “Chuck” Callor, and Frank Latuda and they were going through all of the the Coal Camps and talking of the people who lived there and memories of the past. Come with me as we talk about these camps, coal, unions and their national contributions.

I loved living up Latuda when I was a little girl.
I was up there last summer and it is crazy how much it has changed and gone back to nature. It has all been fenced off now because they are doing a wildlife management project.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Grew up in Helper. My father was born in a boxcar in Spring Canyon. Grandfather worked the mines I remember Chuck and Frank very well.
Hellen thank you. Its crazy to think anyone could be born in a boxcar now.
Very well done. Thank you for taking the time to share our country’s history. I learned alot.
