Cornish Tin Mining St Just
Surprised to find a novel about Cornwall by RM Ballantyne. Enjoyed reading it very much & felt it conveyed what it was like in the tin mines at the end of Cornwall around St Just & out under the sea in the 19th century. It conveyed the hardships families endured, their strong Methodist faith but didn't shy away from writing about smuggling as a way of supplementing their income.
