Document 1-Life for Children “I told my dad I wasn’t going to school anymore. He said: Why, you just come on and go work with me. I went into the mines, and I went to work. From ’31 to about the last of ’32…We lived eight miles from the mine, and we had to ride it horseback…Many times I’d have to git off and hammer his feet out of the stirrups. They’d be frozen in the stirrups…We got up at five in the mornin’, start at six. We got out at ten that night. We’d work about six hours a day, seventeen hours.” –Buddy Blankenship, West Virginia miner How will this choice, to leave school, negatively affect his future?
