Subject Shield, Leonard--Interviews; Carbon County (Utah); Coal mines and mining--Utah; Coal mine accidents--Utah
Description The interview with Leonard Shield covers the subjects of his background, railroad transportation experiences, growing up in Hiawatha, the Castle Gate mine explosion, the 1928 Kennilworth explosion and rescue operations, experiences at Mohrland, coal mining experiences, Union activities, his father's experiences as Utah State Mine Inspector, and mining at the Peacock and Milburn mine. The Carbon County oral history project (1972-1993) consists of oral histories from residents of Carbon County, Utah. While the main emphasis is on living in coal mine country, the interviews are verbal snapshots of rural Utah life from the earliest settlers to as recently as 1993.
