520 1 $a"Mark Wyman's sympathetic account of the Western metal miners includes graphic details of their bitter struggle for unpaid wages, for industrial safety legislation, for corporate liability in the event of mine accidents and for workmen's compensation ... Throughout the book one finds the compassion and understanding that mark works in the best tradition of historical scholarship"--Milton Cantor, The Nation.
520 1 $a"Wyman has looked at miners in the larger context of American industrialization during the late 19th and 20th centuries. In doing so, he has produced a stimulating, informative account of how this group of workingmen responded to changes in the work place brought on by changes in technology, corporate capitalism, and the shifting labor forces of the day."--James E. Fell, Jr., Pacific Northwest Quarterly.
