Great children's book

This is a great book about how many immigrants came to the United States in the late 1800's and early 1900's and worked in the coal mines to save up money to bring all other family members over. It is especially appropriate for children in Wyoming, Colorado, Pennsylvania and other areas where coal mining was part of their economy.
