Anotace knihy

On November 3, 1926, catastrophe struck the Barnes-Hecker mine near the small town of Ishpeming in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In less than fifteen minutes, the mine caved in when a torrent of mud, water and debris collapsed, taking the lives of fifty-one men. Forty-one men were never recovered. The accident was the worst iron ore mine disaster in the history of the State of Michigan, and indeed, the entire United States. Enduring Legacies gives voice to descendants, family members and others connected with the tragedy - and provides salient facts sourced from mine records, contemporaneous news stories, and rare documents and photographs. People from seventeen states and five countries (including the U.S.) participated in this enduring gift to posterity.

"Enduring Legacies: People of the 1926 Barnes-Hecker Mine Disaster is about a shared experience, and it reveals that it was shared by many. Some of the chapters uncover the experience of people who did not lose a husband or father, but a friend, a fellow miner, or a member of a community. This book displays a support structure for a devastated community. Taken as a whole, it shows readers that the bonds between people affected by the disaster, whether it be in 1926 or 2026, make the legacy of the Barnes-Hecker an expanding story." (from the Foreword) -- Troy Henderson, Historian, Michigan History Center, Michigan Iron Industry Museum
