Question 1: How might the photograph be useful as evidence of the
working conditions of children in the Pennsylvania coal mines?
It can be useful because it shows how dirty and tired, they look, which
means that they must work in tough and dangerous conditions.
Question 2: What about this source might make it less useful as
evidence of the working conditions of children in the Pennsylvania coal
mines?
There is nothing that can make it less useful as evidence because it has
pictures, dates and everything needed to make the picture credible
