Описание книги

One of British Columbia's most colourful figures was Albert «Ginger» Goodwin, a slight young English immigrant who arrived on Vancouver Island in 1910 to join hundreds of others slaving in the hellholes of the Cumberland mines. What he saw there made him one of the most effective labour leaders the province has ever seen, and led to an untimely and controversial end. Susan Mayse combines the skills of novelist ( Merlin's Web ) and historian in this gripping biography of one of BC's most controversial labour figures, a hero among Vancouver Island miners and a dangerous subversive in the eyes of the authorities.

Susan Mayse

.....

About a hundred men and women joined, though not all attended every meeting. Three members pooled their funds to buy an old store opposite the post office on Dunsmuir Avenue, which they turned into a meeting place. This drew the mockery of local newspaper editor E.W. Bickle, a former miner who had profited as notary and city clerk. In his weekly Cumberland Islander he suggested, when someone painted “socialist hall” on the meeting place door, that an E in the second word would be more appropriate than an A. The socialists fired their own verbal barrages in return, though not on the pages of the Islander.

“Bickle run it. He was never much as far as the men were concerned,” Peter Cameron explained. The Islander usually supported the company and attacked the union and its organizers.
