Download or read book Cornish in Michigan written by Russell M. Magnaghi and published by Discovering the Peoples of Mic. This book was released on 2007 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several ethnic groups have come to Michigan from the British Isles. Each group of immigrants from this region--the Cornish, English, Irish, and Welsh--has played a significant role in American history. Historic records show that some early nineteenth-century Cornish immigrants were farmers and settled in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. However, the majority of early Cornish immigrants were miners, and much of their influence was felt in the Upper Peninsula of the state. Many of the underground miners from Cornwall got their start in this region before they migrated to other mining regions throughout the United States. Hard-working families came from throughout the peninsula of Cornwall, bringing their history, recipes, songs, religions, and other traditions to Michigan's northern mining country. This nineteenth-century migration brought them to new homes in Keweenaw County, Houghton County, Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor, and Presque Isle. In the 1830s, newly arrived immigrants also settled in the lower parts of Michigan, in Macomb, Washtenaw, Lenawee, and Oakland counties. The automobile boom of the 1920s sent many of these immigrants and their children to Metro Detroit from the Upper Peninsula, where their traditions are perpetuated today.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why so many authors drew on Cornwall for inspiration across the long nineteenth century, and considers the seismic cultural changes in Cornwall that spurred this interest – from the collapse of the mining industry to the developing national rail network; from the birth of tourism to the neomedieval rise in interest in King Arthur. Understanding frequently overlooked Cornwall in this period is vital to understanding Gothic literature, the Victorian imagination, intellectual and creative networks, and attitudes towards regionality. The first part of the book considers landscape and legend, defining a mining Gothic tradition, exposing the shipwreck as Gothic mastertrope, and demonstrating how antiquarians drew from Cornish legends and lore. The second part explores encounters with modernity, investigating the impact of railway expansion on access to Cornwall, the development of a Cornish King Arthur as a key figure of Victorian masculinity, and the specific features of the Cornish ghost story.
