Szkice z dziejów wsi w Radomszczańskiem (XIX–XX w.). Wydobycie torfu w Woźnikach
Streszczenie
The article presents traditions, conditions and methods of peat extraction in
Woźniki – a locality situated about 10 kilometres from Radomsko in the Łódzkie
Voivodeship. The issue of peat extraction has been extended to questions related
to customs and culture of the local population. Moreover, the author describes
the proprietary, economic, topographic and toponomastic issues. The paper has
been mainly elaborated on the basis of stories of living village inhabitants. Peat
as heating material has been ousted by coal, wood, gas and electricity. Presumably
there is only one inhabitant in Woźniki who still continues quarrying this raw
material.
