Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Down is a novel about the dangers and hardships of life in a Cornish tin mine in the mid-19th century. The story follows Oliver Trembath, a young doctor who comes to the mining town of St. Just to work at the Botallack mine. Trembath is initially horrified by the conditions in the mine, but he soon comes to admire the courage and determination of the miners. The novel explores the themes of courage, friendship, and community. Trembath learns to appreciate the simple things in life, and he comes to see the miners as his friends. He also witnesses the dangers of mining, and he comes to understand the importance of safety. Deep Down is a historical novel, but it is also a work of fiction. Ballantyne uses his imagination to create a vivid and suspenseful story. The novel is full of action and adventure, and it provides a glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared.

Download or read book The Cornish in the Caribbean written by Sue Appleby and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora. The Cornish in the Caribbean is the first study to tell the stories of some of the many Cornish men and women who went to the Caribbean. Some became wealthy plantation owners, while others came as indentured servants and labourers. Cornish men were active in the armed services, taking part in the numerous sea and land battles fought by the competing European powers throughout the region. Cornish officers and crew sailed on the ships of the Falmouth Packet Service which took the mail to and from the Caribbean. Methodism was strong in Cornwall and Methodist missionaries and their wives came to the Caribbean to evangelise both the enslaved and the newly free. The most striking transfer of Cornish skills to the Caribbean was to be found in mining. As Cornish mining declined, and the Great Emigration of miners and their families got underway, Cornish mining engineers, captains and miners went out to mines throughout the Caribbean. “Meticulously researched and highly readable” Bridget Brereton, Professor Emerita, University of the West Indies.
