Roaring Days: Rossland's Mines and the History of British ColumbiaUBC Press, 1995 - 236 Seiten Although the book focuses on Rossland's sudden rise and its gradual decline as a mining town, the story of mining in the Kootenays is a local variant of a more profound event - the transformation of North America as it was brought within the network of world trade. In a world that measured progress by military strength and industrial capacity, the implications of direct access to mineral products were enormous. |
