Description

 


Detail

Monument to Indiana miners and to those who lost their lives while working in Indiana coal mines. The inscription on the monument reads: "Without coal, the marvelous social and industrial progress which marks our civilization could not have been achieved. But the production of this vital commodity, so essential to the world's progress, has cost the lives of thousands of coal miners in Indiana. It is to the supreme sacrifice of these men that this memorial is dedicated."
