Description
Anton (Tony) Marusa talks about his Czechoslovakian roots and his life in Roslyn, Washington. He discusses his father’s work in the Northwestern Improvement Company No. 7 and No. 5 Mines, as well as his own work in the No. 5, No. 3, and No. 9 Mines beginning at age 16. He talks about working conditions, wages, health hazards, and technology in the mines. He also talks about recreation, transportation, and communications developments in twentieth-century Roslyn.
Included here, along with the Tony Marusa interview, is home video footage, showing the Marusa family, 1950-1959. The footage shows weddings, skiing, town scenes, logging, parades, holidays, and more.
