Description

Photograph
The Coal Breaker Boys
Kingston, Pennsylvania
Year 1895 circa
Their job was to separate impurities from coal by hand in a coal breaker. Although breaker boys were primarily children, elderly coal miners who could no longer work in the mines because of age, disease, or accident were also sometimes employed as breaker boys. The use of breaker boys began in the mid-1860s  Although public disapproval of the employment of children as breaker boys existed by the mid-1880's, the practice did not end until the 1920's
