Report On The Cherry Mine Disaster (1910) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169005464)

""Report On The Cherry Mine Disaster"" is a historical non-fiction book written by David Ross. It was originally published in 1910 and provides a detailed account of the tragic events that occurred in Cherry, Illinois in November of that year. The book chronicles the coal mine disaster that claimed the lives of over 250 miners, most of whom were young boys. Ross, a journalist at the time, was sent to Cherry to cover the story and ended up staying for weeks to investigate the causes of the disaster. He interviewed survivors, witnesses, and officials, and compiled a thorough report on what happened and why. The book includes photographs, diagrams, and maps to help readers understand the layout of the mine and the events that unfolded. In addition to the factual account of the disaster, Ross also delves into the societal and political factors that contributed to the tragedy. He exposes the negligence of the mine owners and the lack of safety regulations, as well as the exploitation of immigrant workers who were forced to work in dangerous conditions for little pay. Overall, ""Report On The Cherry Mine Disaster"" is a powerful and informative book that sheds light on a devastating event in American history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of worker safety and the need for government regulation to protect vulnerable populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
