Coal Dust in My Blood : The Autobiography of a Coal Miner

The men who worked British Columbia's mines have passed into history.

Coal Dust In My Blood is a moving account of one coal miner's life, in plain, evocative language.

But this book is much more than a personal memoir. Bill Johnstone's mining career spanned several decades and he worked in a wide variety of positions.

His broad insights reveal important aspects of the history of coal mining in BC.
