Mr. Horace Kephart,
Bryson City, H. C.
Dear Mr. Kephart:
Have yours of the 16th. Congratulations that you have a namesake. If anybody in
this world is entitled to have one of the peaks
of the Great Smokies named after him, you're the
man.
Sometime I'm coming down in that
country and catch some trout from the streams of
Mount Kephart.
Sincerely yours,

Coal and health in the Hunter: lessons from one valley for the world
No full textOnce an unquestioned source of economic prosperity, the damage caused by coal to people’s health, natural capital and the global climate has led to closer scrutiny of its impacts. The evidence suggests coal is becoming an unwelcome social and economic burden, and a risk to community wellbeing, the economy and a safe climate.
This report provides an insight into the evidence of the harm – local, national, and global – from coal production in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia.
The report looks at the literature on the adverse impacts on physical and psychological health associated with coal mining, transportation and production, as well as the contribution of climate change to health impacts and estimates the health costs associated with air pollution from coal sources in the some communities in the Hunter as well as the social costs of carbon associated with emissions produced from Hunter Valley coal
