Autorenporträt
Eddie Nickels is a retired Scotia Coal Miner who is eminently qualified to write of the two devastating explosions of March 9 and 11, 1976. As a volunteer on the mine recovery team, he had occasion to visit the scene of both explosions and to observe the areas involved in some detail. He also helped to recover and ventilate the active sections of the mine in order for production of coal to resume. After retirement from Scotia, he worked for a large insurance company as an Account Representative. He has three children, eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren and lives in Mayking, Kentucky. He is the author of three other books; Six Years to Live, Marine Corps Draftee, and Garfield versus Marshall.
