Oliver Bell discusses his Finnish roots and his family's immigration to Cle Elum, Washington, where his father worked in the Northwestern Improvement Company (NWI) coal mines. Oliver Bell himself worked in the NWI No. 9 Mine, and he describes working conditions, the geography of the mine, labor unions, and mining technology.
