Sources of Information
- Work cat.: 2008921754: Wolensky, Robert P. Tragedy at Avondale, 2008:t.p. (the causes, consequences, and legacy of the Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Industry's most deadly mining disaster, September 6, 1869) p. 25 (Avondale Mining Disaster) pref. (the anthracite regions of northeastern Pennsylvania have witnessed dozens of mining disasters ... yet none of the cataclysms proved more shocking than Avondale. The loss of life, preventable nature of the tragedy, possibility of arson, impact on mining legislation, and influence on contemporary culture all combine to make it arguably anthracite's most important and far-reaching upheaval.)
