The coal-mining town of Denniston on the West Coast has passed into history, but its people and spirit come alive in this well written book by Cecelia Adams,

From the inside of the dust jacket:  Despite its drawbacks of isolation, inclement weather and barrenness, the author doubts if any other New Zealand town of like size had even a fraction of the varied  interests which The Hill had to offer. Here, in a little world apart, was an existence geared to the winning of coal from the vast seams which existed in the area.
Here were found men tough and strong; endowed with the courage that is peculiar to all those who work in the black, underground tunnels hundreds of feet below the earth’s surface, and who face dangers every hour of their working day.
