Scotts Run, West Virginia - A Glimpse into the Forgotten Coal Camp
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures Troop Hill, an abandoned coal camp nestled in Scotts Run, West Virginia. Taken on December 22,1936 by Lewis Hine, a renowned American photographer and advocate for social reform, this image serves as a powerful testament to the harsh realities faced by communities during the Great Depression. The mine at Troop Hill had tragically closed its doors earlier that year, leaving behind a desolate landscape and shattered dreams. As one gazes upon this scene from the main highway entering Scotts Run in March 1937, it becomes evident how deeply intertwined these once-thriving mining towns were with America's industrial past. Hine's camera acted as his tool for change; through his lens he sought to shed light on the plight of those affected by economic downturns and inspire societal transformation. This photograph stands as a haunting reminder of the struggles endured by countless families who relied on coal mining for their livelihood. As we reflect upon this piece of Americana captured over eight decades ago, let us not forget the resilience and determination exhibited by those who weathered such challenging times. May it serve as a call to action to address systemic issues that perpetuate inequality today.
