"A Miner's Story" is a historical fiction novel based on actual events occurring over a six month period from May to November at the Steep Rock Iron Mine near the North West Ontario community of Atikokan, Ontario. The story takes you through an abortive attempt by the company to undermine the Errington open pit from underground, using the 'block caving' method. The pit could go no deeper, so the plan was to recover the ore body from the underground.The main character, Wilf Baker, is a good miner but also a drunk. He heard Steep Rock was hiring miners. He arrives in town fresh off a drunk, and flat broke, hoping to find work. To his horror, he finds the company doesn't provide a camp with bunkhouse accommodation. With no money, he has find accommodation not to mention a job. He has the good fortune to run into an old mining buddy, Stan Rooster, who stakes for a room and gets him lined for work on condition he doesn't drink.Wilf keeps his end of the deal and stays sober. He ends up partners with Stan at the mine and goes onto meet a good woman to make a life for him. However the 'block caving' method of mining began to cave more than the mine had planned.....The events describe in my story are based on actual events of 1957 at Steep Rock Iron Mines. The characters are fictitious but are created from miners who worked there.

Memory of a Miner is a true account of one man's journey as an old-school miner in the southern Appalachian coal mining region of Harlan County, Kentucky, between 1931 to 1958.This is the same period that "Bloody Harlan" gained its reputation as the battleground for some of the most volatile and insidious conflicts over worker's rights this country has ever known. Although volumes have been written about the struggles and sacrifices that defined this time and place in American history, an important reality is usually missing in those accounts......the fact that despite the coal wars at home and a World War abroad, the fun times shared and the friendships made make this the most treasured time of life for most of those who lived it. And Dad has the stories to prove it! Memory of a Miner revisits his journey - told from his perspective - of the bad and the good. Dad not only loved mining, but he was a crack storyteller to boot! Anyone who enjoys a good story will be delighted to find this book packed full of hilarious, one-of-a-kind real-life adventures recreated by this world-class storyteller.Memory of a Miner retains the historical integrity of the period by weaving facts of record with first-hand accounts of a miner right in the thick of it all. Readers who fancy stories about salt-of-the-earth folk who fight for what they believe in...and win...will love Memory of a Miner. This narrative fleshes out the robust day-to-day life of real people who knew how to work hard and play hard. As such, Memory of a Miner is an inspiring commentary on life which we can all relate to - a journal of joy and sadness, success and failure, hardship and bounty on an intimate scale. The story of a real-life hero who conquered unbelievable odds and not only persevered, but discovered how to truly enjoy life.

For seventy-one years, iron ore was mined at Wabana, Bell Island: half the output was used in Canada; the other half was shipped around the world. When the mine shut down on June 30, 1966, it was Canada's oldest, continuously operating iron mine. The miners worked three miles under the ocean in Conception Bay, in what was, during its lifetime, the world's most extensive submarine iron mine. This is the story of the miners, of their workday, of the conditions in the mines, the story of the horses and the rats, of the fun that relieved the tedium and of the tragedies.

The deepest coal mine in North America was notoriously unpredictable. One late October evening in 1958, it "bumped" - its rock floors heaving up and smashing into rock ceilings. A few miners staggered out, most of the 174 on shift did not. Nineteen men were trapped, plunged into darkness, hunger, thirst, and hallucination. As days and nights passed, the survivors began to hope for death by gas rather than from thirst. Above ground, journalists and families stood in despairing vigil, as rescuers brought out scores of the dead. The hope of finding life undergound faded and families made funeral preparations. Then, a miracle: Rescuers stumbled across a broken pipe leading to a cave of survivors, then a second group was discovered. A media circus followed. Ed Sullivan, then the state of Georgia, invited survivors to visit. Publicity, politics, and segregation sorted the men differently than they had ordered themselves. Underground, the one black survivor nursed a dying man; in Atlanta, Governor Marvin Griffin said: "I will not shake hands with a Negro." If every great writer has one tale of peril, heroism, and survival, Last Man Out is Melissa Fay Greene's. Using long-lost stories and interviews with survivors, Greene has reconstructed the drama of their struggle to stay alive

August 2010: the San Jose mine in Chile collapses trapping 33 men half a mile underground for 69 days. Faced with the possibility of starvation and even death, the miners make a pact: if they survive, they will only share their story collectively, as 'the 33'. 1 billion people watch the international rescue mission. Somehow, all 33 men make it out alive, in one of the most daring and dramatic rescue efforts even seen.
