Thurber coal town power and strikes tell Texas heat tale
In Thurber Texas coal mining shaped homes and life from 1886 to 1930. The town operated as a company town under Texas Pacific with a unionized workforce, bartered goods, and a theater. Strikes suppressed by Rangers and a shift to oil ended the era. Core sampling now suggests 126 million tons remain.
