A field near Port Graham hides the marks of a sizable coal town that was  established in the 1850s. All the remnants of the town disappeared &ndash;  except for the stone outline of a dock.
At the height of operation, Coal Village was the third-largest Russian town in Alaska, exceeded only by Kodiak and Sitka. Russian history recorded 20 houses, a church, a warehouse, a sawmill, a blacksmith shop, stables, a small foundry and mining structures.
