Summary:
"
Mining
has a significant presence in every part of
Canada
- from east to west coasts to the far north. This book tells the stories of the people and companies who pushed
mining
into new territories, created new towns and generated jobs by the thousands. It highlights the experiences of those who lived and worked in
mining
settlements across the
country
, as well as the rise of major
mining
companies and the emergence of Toronto and Vancouver as centres of global
mining
finance. It also addresses the effects these developments have had on Indigenous communities and the environmental changes and challenges that have accompanied
mining
at every step.
Mining
Country
is richly illustrated with more than 150 photos drawn from the well-recorded
history
up to the present. The story begins with the development of copper
mining
and trading networks among pre-contact Indigenous groups in
Canada
. Industrial scale
mining
of iron and coal emerged in Quebec and Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century. The book describes the growth of
mining
towns in northern Ontario, Quebec and western
Canada
in the nineteenth century, and the famous Cariboo and Klondike Gold Rushes. Demand for strategic minerals and metals during the Second World War and the Cold War pushed development into remote northern regions. The most recent period embraces the North West Territories diamond rush and controversial expansion into Ontario'
s
"Ring of Fire" region. Much has been written about the
history
of individual
mining
towns, mine unions and
mining
companies. This book offers a readable account of the full scope of this key industry's story, in words and a collection of carefully researched and selected visuals."--From publisher.
