About this book

In the Pit: A Cape Breton Coal Miner by MacKenzie, Rennie. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781895415704.

A RARE, EXCITING INSIDER STORY of coal mine life in Cape Breton, filled with humour, pride, terror, and humanity. From shoveling at the coal face and hand-lifting tons of shaker pans, to hurtling through low narrow tunnels testing a diesel during early mechanization—you are not spared the details—or the laughs! Here are the gripping drama and rich good humour of one mans daily work underground—a rare, personal account that opens up the culture of coal, from a man who worked 15 years in Number 12 and 18 Collieries, New Waterford.
