Miner's Blood on Estevan Coal
ISBN0-919396-41-0 pa
No doubt Rev. Smith
was sympathetic to the
Communist movement.
His details and writings here
are off the cuff and uncensored.
I think it gives a good account
from the miner's point of view.
Especially the Union leaders,
who were his close friends.
He was a Methodist preacher.
Would he speak and write the truth?
will leave that for you to decide.
There is no doubt in my mind,
his account of the living conditions,
of the miners and their families,
at that time, is 100% true.
As a minister, he would see that
with his own 2 eyes. |

Below is one Critics quote:
"The chapter on hockey in Bienfait
may be as revealing as anything
ever written on hockey
in small-town Canada."
Sounds good to me!
