Presentation copy from the author, inscribed on half-title and dated 1952. The mine was taken over by the National Coal Board in 1947 and in 1950 at Knockshinnoch Castle Colliery, a glaciated lake filled with liquid peat and moss flooded pit workings, trapping more than a hundred miners underground. For several days rescue teams worked non-stop to reach the trapped men. Most were eventually rescued three days later, but 13 died. The disaster was an international media event.
