Title: Rhymes of the Miner: An Anthology of Canadian Mining Verse
Description: Canada: Federal Publications Limited, 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. Illustrated by Cuthbertson, Geo. A.. [8], 9-222 pages. Occasional black and white illustrations. Undated but appears to be circa 1937. A collection of approximately 180 Canadian mining verses compiled, in part, because "a good deal of verse associated with the industry's remoter past was in danger of becoming permanently lost." - Foreword. Includes works by Robert Service, J.C. Murray, Alpine MacGregor, and many others, brief biographies for fourteen of whom are included at back. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's illustrated brown buckram-covered boards. Front hinge starting. Narrow opening in binding at title page. Prior owner's details atop front free endpaper. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A worthy vintage copy of this nostalgic Mother Lode of Canadian verse.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; Poetry - Miners - Canada; Mining - Canada. Fair .
