Hi Elizabeth - you probably know that, in the 1880s and 1890s, the Marino family owned a big chunk of the Mahoning Coal Company's Addition to Coalburg, the former miners' camp I highlighted in the documentary!
@@ItalianAmericanHistory hey Joe, are you familiar with the book Italians in West Virginia? by Victor Basile and Judy Prozzillo Byers? it's about the exact same subject. My cousin is Judy that wrote about the group of Italians in west Virginia that don't get a lot of exposer compared to the other ports of entry
This is a lost history of the Italians of NE Ohio. Broad in its sweep, the documentary also records the roles of Welsh immigrants and African Americans in the 1873 miners' strike.
I am not native to Ohio, but I have an interest in Coalburg because at least three generations, possibly four, of my non-Italian family lived there. Do you know what became of the Coalburg Blocks? Looking on Google Maps, the satellite photo looks like woods where the Coalburg Italians settlement was.
The name "Coalburg Blocks" was used to describe a 22-acre parcel of land in the unincorporated community of Coalburg in northwest Hubbard Township. It never appeared on any map, but was named in several newspaper articles in 1898.

Everett Road.
My family came from Coalburg the Marino's and the Bricillos.

Great work, Joe. I loved seeing some history of our ancestors.
Thank you for the nice comment, Judy

@ 3:59, how is the price of iron being manipulated?
The price of iron wasn't manipulated, it simply fell as demand for it also fell.
