Does anyone know if the advertised book by Denys Barton "Cornish Miner
Overseas", which was advertised as being in preparation on the rear dust
jacket of his final "Essays in Cornish Mining History" has ever seen the
light of day? As I understand it, D.B.Barton emigrated to South Africa,
following the demise of his Trethellan House/ Tor Mark Press publishing
business at Lemon Quay, Truro, and this title never materialised. This
surely is a great shame, since this author's work was always eminently
readable and well researched, and the subject matter of the proposed
title would have made truly fascinating reading. Has it, perhaps been
published "overseas"? Anyone any know?
