THE GREAT CHANCE - B090

The Great Chance is a unique manuscript.  It tells the story of James Brown Neale, a coal baron, and his model village of Buck Run.  Neale and Buck Run were well-known in national and industrial circles in the early years of the twentieth century, but today are largely known by historians.  Combining elements of benevolent paternalism with the boom in anthracite mining.  Neale used  his influence to touch the lives of an otherwise insignificant corner of the world.  Those who knew Neale  are now almost entirely gone, and their childhood memories are of a gentle giant in his declining years.Only The Grfeat CHance exists to tell the story of "Jim" and his Buck Run.
