Hawk's Nest (novel)
''Hawk's Nest'' is a novel written by West Virginia author Hubert Skidmore, published in 1941. A fictionalized account of one of America's greatest industrial disasters, it is an account of the Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster in which hundreds or thousands of men were sickened and died as a result of silicosis they contracted while digging the tunnel under unsafe conditions.

In the historical disaster, African American men accounted for the largest percentage of deaths, and Skidmore acknowledges that fact even though the African Americans in ''Hawk' ...
