"When Miners Sang" Presentation at the SLT Library
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 04/23/2018 - 9:22am
Event Date:
June 19, 2018 - 6:00pm Author Gage McKinney will share with us the incredibly interesting tale of the hard-rock miners from Cornwall who came to America early in the 1800s to tap the continent’s rich mineral wealth. They were crucial to the California Gold Rush and settled in the mining camps of the Sierra Nevada. Along with their mining skills, they brought their folk music and especially their Christmas carols. Gage will describe the origins of this music, which was composed, performed and enjoyed by mining families, and is preserved today by their descendants.
