Review
"Hard Rock Epic combines Western and Labor-union history to produce a book both scholarly and readable. . . . Wyman brings the period and places alive. . . . An excellent work." -- Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
"Hard Rock Epic is both a descriptive and analytical study of the impact of technology on the life of metalliferous miners of the West. . . . Historians of labor and the American West will find this volume instructive and a definite contribution to their fields of study." -- George G. Suggs, Jr., American Historical Review
"Hard Rock Epic makes a solid and much needed contribution to the history of both the western mining frontier and the industrial revolution." -- R.E. Lingenfelter, California History
"Mark Wyman's sympathetic account of the Western metal miners includes graphic details of their bitter struggle for unpaid wages, for industrial safety legislation, for corporate liability in the event of mine accidents and for workmen's compensation. . . . Throughout the book one finds the compassion and understanding that mark works in the best tradition of historical scholarship." -- Milton Cantor, The Nation
"Wyman's study is thoroughly researched, well organized and clearly written. He has produced the most comprehensive and interpretive study of the mining industry available to historians. . . . It is a book that will stand the test of time." -- W. Turrentine Jackson, Technology and Culture
