Appalachian Coal Mining Memories: Interview With Dewey Hardy One of the highlights of my time learning and sharing Appalachian history is this interview with Dewey Hardy. I've known Dewey essentially my whole life as we attended to the same church and I went to high school with his son Max. It is amazing what you can learn about someone, even a person you think you know a lot about, if you spend an hour talking to them about their life. Dewey was born and raised in McDowell County, West Virginia
