This book is loaded with photos of mining town and their environs, while Mr. Watkins bemoans the fact that mining wrecked much of the natural environment, this doesn't stop him from writing some interesting mining history along with many great photos and illustrations. Some of the photos from this book are serving as an inspiration for my next module/layout.
