Book cover of Anywhere but Schuylkill, by Michael Dunn, with Lewis Hine's photo of breakerboys against a blue background. Reads: In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere but Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. children are dying of hunger. the Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners' union. and there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.
