Copper
Country Journal brings to life a culture and
community long since passed from the American landscape. It includes a wealth
of information, both within the introduction and throughout the diary, about
the copper industry from 1845-1865. Hobart centered his narrative on Cliff
Mine, one of the leading producers of copper in the world and the primary
employer in the town of Clifton. He provides firsthand accounts of the unsafe
conditions in the mines, the workers and their families, and the impact
of the mine on the employees and the community. |
