Description

"When the miners of the White 'Oss Pit near Dudley went on strike for the first time in their lives, they were asking for a pay rise from a penny to two-pence per tub of coal. describes with extraordinary vividness the almost incredibly hard lives of miners in the nineteenth century ; the grinding poverty, the squalid houses . The story is told from the point of view of Jek Davies, a young miner who is wholly committed to the strike and yet cannot help seeing the point of view of the strike breakers and his dilemma is poignantly conveyed." Clean crisp copy, looks unread.173P. DJ price clipped, else fine
