Download or read book Coal Black Heart written by John Demont and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new work of history, told through the stories of a teeming cast of characters. The history of coal is the story of the last two centuries of the industrialized world. Coal has powered that world, and controlled the destinies of millions. And nowhere has that influence run more deeply than in Nova Scotia, where the industry’s rise and decline has transformed society twice. Coal Black Heart is a global history that centres unapologetically on one province, and the generations of people whose lives there have been shaped by this dominating industry. There are the miners. There are the moonshiners and brooding social reformers and charismatic preachers who gave the mining towns their particular feel and flair. And there are the profiteers whose greed led to disaster. This is history as great storytelling - enthralling, involving, deeply moving, and it is a very personal narrative. A brilliant reporter, journalist, and author who has spent most of his career examining Nova Scotia’s weave of land, people, and history - and who grew up listening to its stories - John DeMont was born to write this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coal-Fields of Nova Scotia The mineral resources of the province of Nova Scotia have only of late years received that attention to which their extent and value certainly entitle them. Whether as regards the more recent development of a large tract of auriferous rocks, or the older and rapidly extending operations in coal, there are few countries that offer greater scope for mining enterprise, or are more likely to reward, and that liberally, the judicious capitalist.
