Missing Mountains
We went to the mountaintop but it wasn't there
An exploration of Mountaintop removal mining and its effects on the land
and people of Kentucky and Appalachia ---
Thirty-five Kentuckians write against mountaintop removal in this collection of essays, fiction, and poetry. In April of 2005 a group of Kentucky writers participated in a "Mountaintop Removal Tour" organized by Kentuckians For The Commonwealth. After witnessing first-hand the devastation from this type of mining, the inadequacy of reclamation, and hearing from residents regarding the effects of mountaintop-removal mining on the land and the people who live there, this book was conceived.
