Deep Down, a Tale of the Cornish Mines

Deep Down: A Tale of the Cornish Mines by R.M. Ballantyne tells the story of Oliver Trembath, a young doctor who arrives at the rugged mining town of St. Just to serve the workers of the Botallack tin mine. Shocked by the harsh, perilous conditions deep underground, he gradually earns the miners’ trust and gains profound respect for their courage, resilience, and strong community spirit. As he tends to injuries, prevents disasters, and advocates for safer practices, Oliver becomes deeply invested in their lives. Through gripping scenes of cave-ins, floods, and daily toil, Ballantyne illuminates the dangers of 19th-century mining while celebrating human endurance and solidarity. A powerful blend of adventure, social insight, and moral reflection, Deep Down offers a vivid, compassionate portrait of a vanished industrial world.
