MONONGAH: THE TRAGIC STORY OF THE 1907 MONONGAH MINE DISASTER (West Virginia and Appalachia)
"Monongahis an important book, long overdue."Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor"McAteer skillfully analyzes the tragedy, examining players on the  company side from the upper levels of the rich and powerful to the mine  supervision and operations level, while giving equal weight and voice to  the immigrant groups that provided the vast majority of the victims...  It is fortuante that a man of David McAteer's caliber undertook to tell  the tragic story."Charles McCollester,West Virginia History: A Journal of Regional History"Monongahis a major scholary work, and another in a series  of WVU Press offerings that tells previously untold stories about the  people who really built West Virginia, and often suffered in doing so."Ken Ward,The West Virginia Lawyer"[Monongah] is a compelling, cautionary tale of avarice and  corruption, as well as a testament to the ultimate resilience of  exploited people."Shirley Stewart Burns,The Journal of Southern History"McAteer's work is undeniably significant and his extensive research is evident."Joshua Stahlman, Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies
