History of Madrid
This program about Madrid is adapted from the book, Life on the Range and Other Memories by Ferroll Clark Hanlon. Madrid became a real boom town due to our entry into the war in Europe in 1917 and the consequence increase in demand for coal which it had in abundance. Eventually the demand for coal decreased due to increased use of cars, trucks and trains pulled by diesel engines. This caused some of the mines to be abandoned and Madrid became a quieter place.
