Appalachian Community Histories – Gary, McDowell County: U.S. Steel, Coal, and Life in Gary Hollow.

Faraday, McDowell County: Frick Coal Lands, Beech Fork, and the Amonate No. 31 Mine

Appalachian Community Histories – Faraday, McDowell County: Frick Coal Lands, Beech Fork, and the Amonate No. 31 Mine. Faraday is easy to miss in the history of McDowell County. It never grew into a town like Welch, Gary, or Keystone, and much of the history connected to its name eventually became associated with Amonate, Virginia, just across the state line. Yet the surviving records tell a different story. Faraday was once the name attached to a massive coal-land enterprise, proposed industrial works, railroad construction, electrical infrastructure, and one of the largest mining operations in this corner of the Pocahontas coalfield.

Filbert, McDowell County: U.S. Coal & Coke, Mine No. 9, and Life at the End of Gary Hollow

Appalachian Community Histories – Filbert, McDowell County: U.S. Coal & Coke, Mine No. 9, and Life at the End of Gary Hollow. At the upper end of Gary Hollow, where Sand Lick Creek presses against steep McDowell County mountains, the community of Filbert grew around one of the most important mines in the United States Coal & Coke Company system. It was never a courthouse town, an independent commercial center, or a place that existed before the coal industry arrived. Filbert was built because there was coal in the mountain and because one of the largest industrial corporations in the world wanted that coal for its steel mills.
