Witness at Hawks Nest

“In the plain-spoken language of the people he writes about, Dwight Harshbarger spins a compelling tale of disaster and injustice. Harshbarger’s respect for history and for the common man shines through. Shocking and deeply relevant to America’s future in the 21st century.” --David Huddle, Author Paper Boy, Only the Little Bone and Glory River Faculty Member, Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference

“Dwight Harshbarger gives faces and voices to the men who dug the Hawks Nest tunnel and fell victim to our nation’s worst industrial disaster.” --Denise Giardina, Author Saints and Villians and The Unquiet Earth

“Dwight Harshbarger captures the destruction during the digging of the Hawks Nest tunnel of well over 700 lives—workers who fell victim to undiagnosed silicosis and the cover-up of the tragedy by Union Carbide. I wish all West Virginia citizens would read this important book.” --Joseph Wyatt, Professor of Psychology, Marshall University Author The Millennium Man
