Glencoe was just one of Wyoming's many small coal camps that was established in the early twentieth century. Some coal camps survived beyond World War II, some lasted a little longer and some flourished and grew into the great coal producing towns of the twenty-first which still supply coal for the nation. Though Glencoe's history is brief, it is rich in the stories of her hardworking people-the miners and their families, the union, the schools and the mine itself. Though life in that small coal camp was hard, the people pulled together to create a rich sense of community and the times were not devoid of simple entertainment, of fun and of friends. As they did in Echoes of Elkol, Dorothy Wright and her collaborators have once again pieced together the story of a small coal mining community in southwestern Wyoming and its two even smaller neighbors, Blazon and Star Mine. Gathering information from all quarters-oral histories, historical records, photos from the archives and from family collections and newspaper accounts- and weaving it together into the cloth of a memorable story that has been all but lost until now. Here, in Glencoe, Spelling Out Western Coal Camp History, the past has been made whole and available to anyone who values the story of the people who have contributed to the history of Wyoming and, indeed, the country.
