Excellent article! Wish more people could read this. I had read a couple of those books in your source list previously. Your use of photos was exellent too. Those poor miners.

Thank you for reading and I tried to make a decent list of references. George S McGovern's book is an absolute gem when it comes to the subject.
Thankfully, I found it on archive.org and was able to read it whenever I could.

Yes it is, I happen to own McGovern's book when our local library was selling off books they no longer were going to have on the shelves. I paid about $3 for it.
