The Jewel of the The Emerald Mine provides a glimpse into mining and the lives of people in a Canadian company mining town half a century ago. The Emerald Mine was located near Salmo, in the Nelson-Trail region of the Kootenay area of the province of British Columbia. The book includes the results of the author's interviews with 100 of the mine's workers and their families, and hundreds of photographs, diagrams, and maps. Life in a company town evokes a picture of isolation, deprivation, and hardship, but from the personal accounts the reader will learn that this mine was very different. The author has extensive knowledge about mining and company mining towns. He worked as a miner for 13 years at a number of mines in British Columbia, including the Emerald Mine.
