He also discusses the social and economic conditions of the mining community, including the relationships between the miners and their bosses, the role of women in the community, and the impact of the coal industry on the local economy.Throughout the book, Husband emphasizes the physical and mental toll that working in a coal mine takes on the miners, and he describes the various injuries and illnesses that he and his colleagues suffered over the course of the year.
