Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:The Cornish people, spreading outwards from Cornwall in Britain, are a distinctive people, if a small one-as distinctive as the Scots or Welsh or Irish. Their great contribution which has left its mark all over the world, has been in mining, as miners and mining engineers. There is a saying "Wherever there is a hole in the earth, you will find a Cornishman at the bottom of it." The contribution of these people in all the mining areas of America has been immense; the evidence-and the people-is to be found notably in such states Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Montana, Colorado, Arizona and California.The Cousin Jacks for the first time tells the story of their achievement and their remarkable contribution to the making of America.But the story of mining and miners is only one part of the varied and fascinating picture. For the Cornish came to America from early colonial days, from the Bonythons and Trevilians of Virginia, to the Trelawnys and Penhallows of New England, and the Penroses and Rawles of Pennsylvania, the Chenoweths of Kentucky, and so onward and westward. There are the stories of such striking personalities as Hugh Peter of Massachusetts, Chief Justice Penhallow of New Hampshire, the irrepressible Colonel Coode of Maryland, the Tremaines of New York, or the Quaker Joseph Fox, chief designer of the ships of the early American Navy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
