Mirrors of Stone" delves into the many ethnic cultures that thrived in the mining areas of Northern Ontario from the 1920s to the 1960s. The stormy history of hardrock mining camps has never fit into the comfortable cliches by which Canada 'tells its story.'? Angus unearths the dark sides of this history--"the wild tales of bootleggers, mobsters, and prostitution rings? and in so doing opens up new ways of seeing Ontario's history and culture. This is Angus' third work on the economic and cultural history of Northern Ontario, and the second collaboration between Angus and Louie Palu. "We Lived a Life and Then Some" (BTL, 1996) tells the marvelous story of Cobalt, Ontario, and "Industrial Cathedrals of the North" (BTL, 1999) portrays in images and words the ghostly mining structures now largely abandoned in the north.
