A recent inquiry if mining existed for any other colonies. In my
opinion to answer an overview of this book was in order in my library:
Peter M. Molloy. The History of Metal Mining and Metallurgy. An
Annotated Bibilography. Garland Publishing, Inc. 1986.
In terms of American Mining only try these reference sources:
1. Ira B. Joraleman. Copper :The Encompassing Story of Mankind's
First Medal. Berkely, Calif.: Howell-North Books, 1973. 407 pasges.
2.Richard H. Phepls. Newgate of Connecticut: Its Origins and Early
History. Hartford, Conn.: American Publishing Co., 1876. The Simburg
copper mine which was also used as a prison during the American
Revolution as already indicated by D.F..
3. Thomas A. Rickard. A History of American Mining. New York: McGraw
Hill, 1932.
4.Alfred L. Rowse. The Cousin Jacks:The Cornish in America. New
York:Schribner, 1969. 451 pages. JPL: Social History of the Cornish
Miners by a noted English historian. Cornwall copper and tin miners
bringing their expertise to America.
5. Harry & Grace Weiss. Old Copper Mines of New Jersey. Trenton,
N.J.:Past Times Press. 1963. 94 pages. JPL: Colonial Copper Mining-
The standard. Silberman's ace for his CNL write-up G.T mentioned in
the CNL.
6.Josiah B.Whitney. The Metallic Wealth of the U.S., Dsecribed and
compared with other countries. Philadelphia:Lippincott, Grambo & Co.
1854. 510 pages. Reprint. Amos Press, 1970. Best book on American
mining to 1854 as per Otis Young.
I owned 2 and sold it. Currently 5 is in my library. Does anyone own
1,3,4 or 6?
Thanks again for the review. Vlack 20-87C is rare. Ed.S. was is the
current census on this variety???
