Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully revised and up-dated edition of The Cornish Overseas, Philip Payton draws upon almost two decades of additional research undertaken by historians the world over since the first paperback version of this book was published in 2005. Now published by University of Exeter Press, this edition of Philip Payton’s classic history of Cornwall’s ‘great emigration’ takes account of numerous new sources to present a comprehensive, definitive picture of the Cornish diaspora. The Cornish Overseas begins by identifying some of the classic themes of Cornish emigration history, including Cornwall’s ‘emigration culture’ and ‘emigration trade’, and goes on to sketch early Cornish settlement in North America and Australia. The book then examines in detail the upsurge in Cornish emigration after 1815, showing how Cornwall became swiftly one of the great emigration regions of Europe. Discoveries of silver, copper and gold drew Cornish miners to Latin America, while Cornish agriculturalists were attracted to the United States and Canada. The discoveries of copper in South Australia and in Michigan during the 1840s offered new destinations for the emigrant Cornish, as did the Californian gold rush in 1849 and the Victorian gold rush in Australia in 1851. The crash of copper-mining in Cornwall in 1866 sped further waves of emigrants to countries as disparate as New Zealand and South Africa. In each of these places the Cornish remained distinctive as ‘Cousin Jacks’ and ‘Cousin Jennys’, establishing their own communities and making important contributions to the social, political and economic development of the new worlds. By 1914, however, Cornwall was no longer the international centre of mining expertise, the mantle having passed to America, Australia and South Africa, and Cornish emigration had dwindled as a result. Nonetheless, the Cornish at home and abroad remained aware of their global transnational identity, an identity that has been revitalised in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Download or read book Copper and Copper Mining written by R. L. Atkinson and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 1987 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has won copper from the earth for about 10,000 years. As pure metal it could be hammered into weapons or tools, and the accidental discovery of smelting and alloying led to harder and more durable materials such as bronze and brass. Copper is found in almost two hundred minerals, many of them beautifully coloured and highly prized by collectors. Today copper is mined all over the world in underground mines and vast open pits. It is a very versatile metal; it resists corrosion, is malleable and ductile and is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. In the British Isles copper has been mined since pre-Roman times. Two areas dominated copper production during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Devon and Cornwall, in south-west England, and Parys Mountain, in Anglesey, were the greatest copper producers in the world. The spectacular ruins - and the scars - can still be seen.
