Abstract
- The author reflects on her family's tour of 19th-century gold mines in Colorado and the issue of child labor in mines. Topics covered include the ore richness of the Bachelor-Syracuse gold mine, the memory of the breaker boys or young children who sort coal for up 12 hours a day and the shortened life spans of hard rock miners. Also mentioned is the benefit of progressivism to mineworkers.
