This 40 page paperback study of
Issaquah's coal mining history was put together by Issaquah Historical Society
member Linda Adair Hjelm in 1998. Contains many pictures and a helpful
index. From the Issaquah Press, 8/30/1998:
Once the rich veins of coal on Squak Mountain were
fully discovered - and recognized for the resource that they were - men from
as far away as Europe converged on Issaquah roughly 135 years ago to make
their fortunes.
The historical society's research details these times, and
includes accounts from descendants of coal-mining families.
