On this episode of Our American Stories, Harrison Mayes was destined for a life in the coal mines of Kentucky from a young age—though he wanted to be a preacher. After he survived a one-ton minecart smashing nearly every bone in his body, however, he would dedicate one of his two shifts in the mine to another way of spreading the gospel—becoming God's advertiser. J.D. Phillips, otherwise known as the 'Appalachian Storyteller', tells the story.
