SUMMARY:Meet the Author - Lorena Beniquez - “Lost Coal Country of Northea
 stern Pennsylvania”
DESCRIPTION:The Luzerne County Historical Society will host Lorena Beniquez
  author of “Lost Coal Country of Northeastern Pennsylvania” on Friday\
 , January 23rd\, 2026 at the LCHS Museum\, 69 South Franklin Street\, Wilk
 es-Barre\, Pa 18701.\n\nAs the great-granddaughter of a Wyoming Valley coa
 l miner\, Lorena knew little about her family’s story or our area’s hi
 story. So\, she embarked on a decades long labor of love\, shooting a seri
 es of photos capturing the Huber and St. Nicholas coal breakers\, while th
 ey were still standing. From there\, she began to explore further and had 
 the honor to meet and interview historians and the witnesses of the anthra
 cite boom including the children of Joe Stella\, William C. Best and Thoma
 s Supey to name a few. But now nearly ten years later after publishing the
  book\, many of LCCNP’s subjects are already gone. Lorena will present a
  talk about what sites have been demolished\, which remain and new ones to
  explore. She will also detail the process of writing and photographing th
 e book\, which took almost 30 years to complete.\n\nThis event is free to 
 the public. Books will be available for purchase and to have signed. Seati
 ng is limited and is on a first come\, first served basis. For more inform
 ation\, call 570-823-6244 x3 or email reservations@luzernehistory.org.\n\n
