Things I Shouldn't Think Of: Essays and Other Ruminations from a Polish Community in the Coal Fields of Eastern PA

By John E Fedako

Essays and other ruminations from the son of Polish immigrants growing up in the coal fields of Eastern PA during the 1930's and 40's."Only a grassy field remained, not too different from the adjoining farms where he must have walked and played as a young boy. I did not know which fields he ran across, which trees he climbed. What were his joys and his sorrows? I resolved then and there to write about my life: my joys, my sorrows, my growing up in the coal mining region of Eastern Pennsylvania. I would put down all that I dared to put down; for we are all mysteries; even to ourselves.But perhaps, in some distant future, some version of me will read the chronicles of my life and say: my grandfather was... That's why I want to write."
