Description: Part of the Images of America Series by Arcadia. Wilkes-Barre, founded in 1769, is a city of changes: environmental changes brought on by the Susquehanna River and industrial changes that transformed a quiet farming community into a busy breaker town. When anthracite coal was discovered in the 1800s and massive coal breakers were built, immigrants for eastern, western, and southern Europe began to arrive. As these immigrants arrived, they changed the face of the city, creating their own communities and hamlets.

Description: A compelling dramatized documentary that recounts the epic human rights conflict between immigrant anthracite coal miners, turn-of-the century industrialists, and the United States Government. The film blends powerful dramatic re-enactments with remarkable never before seen archival motion picture footage and photographs to reveal how America’s ascendency as the world’s pre-eminent superpower was fueled by the extraordinary social and industrial impact of anthracite coal mining in northeastern Pennsylvania.
