About this Event

Join us in welcoming Bob Wyss to Village Books for a visual presentation and reading of his book Black Gold: The Rise, Reign, and Fall of American Coal!


For decades coal has been crucial to America's culture, society, and environment, an essential ingredient in driving out winter's cold, cooking meals, and lighting the dark. In the coal fields and beyond, Bob Wyss describes how this magical elixir sparked the Industrial Revolution, powered railroads, and built urban skylines, while also providing home comforts for families.


Bob Wyss was a reporter and editor at the Providence Journal for thirty years, a journalism professor at the University of Connecticut for fifteen years, and is currently Professor Emeritus.
