The mining of coal created jobs, built towns, and powered the ships, trains, and factories, which leapfrogged the United States into one of the world's most powerful nations. But it also snuffed out the lives of too many men and boys and left too many widows struggling to keep the rest of their families intact. In The Coal King's Slaves, a father and his three sons face blackness, filth, hardships, and extreme danger in the anthracite coal mines of eastern Pennsylvania while the woman of their home struggles to keep her family alive. The Coal King's Slaves, a historical novel set in the late 1800s, looks back on family life, living conditions, social barriers, industrial greed, violent confrontations, and death and destruction in the coal pits. Some saw "King Coal" as the answer to a fairly steady income. Some felt it was the mysterious force that attracted men to a dangerous occupation and a proud brotherhood of workers. And some assigned the title, with disgust, to mine owners and managers who had more concern for the well-being of mine mules than they did for human workers. The 19th century was a particularly cruel time for mining families, and the treatment they received from many owners and managers led to deadly confrontations and finally to the formation of miners' unions. Not all bosses were cruel people, but many did lack compassion for the needs of employees, their families, their health problems, their living conditions, and their lives in general. For too many miners it was a form of slavery from which escape was difficult.

When the Battle of Gettysburg ended, Robert E. Lee was faced with the problem of getting his wounded back to Virginia. Some were prisoners of the Yankees, others were out of Lee's reach, and a few would die if moved and thus were left behind. But two wagon trains pulled out in a pounding rain on the Fourth of July in 1863 carrying eight thousand Confederate wounded in a race to reach the Potomac River.

Wars affect the people who fight them in many different forms, from bodily harm to questions of reason to absolute dedication. There are different reactions and consequences for every person. In this story, the fictional Evans family offers their best in America's ten most prominent wars. Each one who serves leaves behind their sense of military duty. A description of that duty is written in story form by family members for the future. The first nine who fight for their country leave a rich family history for the tenth fighter, a woman. Some survive, but with different attitudes. Some limp back to the family ranch. Some give their all. They find that their time away from home is governed not by them but by other forces of nature, by people whom they barely know, and by enemies they never meet. The consequences of each in battle gives strength to those in the family who follow from generation to generation. Each generation of the Evans family become more important to their country.
