Roaring Days

Rossland's Mines and the History of British Columbia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Roaring Days is the first full-length study to explore the history of the mining industry in British Columbia. Mouat examines the many different aspects of mining, from work underground to corporate strategies, and he also brings to life the unique individuals who were a part of this history--the miners who toiled long hours in semi-darkness, the hardy citizens who built a bustling town out of the wilderness, and the wealthy mine owners and corporate entrepreneurs whose wealth exceeded all expectations.
