This book was a unique project by Dr. Sharon Schwartz where by means of extensive interviews she captured the essence of life for miners and mining in Cornwall. 

In an interview, Dr. Schwartz said We have been bequeathed a fabulous landscape and heritage by our predecessors that we should be intensely proud of, a reminder that Cornwall lay at the very centre of the global hard rock mining industry. I was honored to be asked to write this book as it was a unique opportunity to “people” this internationally recognized landscape using the thoughts and words of those who have called and continue to call it, their home.”
