Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 0920501257. "Brings to life the drama and determination, the conflict and the double-dealing, that typified the development of the coal mining industry on Canada's west coast during the latter half of the 19th century. Central to the story is Robert Dunsmuir, the man whose single-minded determination and persistence led him to a position of unequalled wealth and power and made him a great many friends and not-a-few enemies. Also tells the story of the coal miners-the hardworking, sometimes abused men who cae from all over the world in search of a brighter future. Describes the rise of the union movement, the strikes, and dangers underground, and the racial tensions of the industry in its earliest days."-dust jacket. 195 pages. Footnotes, bibliography, index. Occasional black and white illustrations. Book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Light wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A nice copy.; 8vo.
