Murder and mayhem were nothing new to coal mining, however for southwestern Colorado and its principal community, Durango, it was. Durango's coal field had all this as well as being the main source of fuel for the entire four corners area of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. From the 1870s into the 1920s coal dominated the local mining scene and provided a door for immigrants and others to achieve the American dream.
