> Publishers Abstract; Reginald Bonham Carter, a young English engineer,
> spent about eight years in Spain, and played a significant part in the
> British and Spanish community in Linares, a lead mining town in Jaén
> Province, where he mainly lived and worked. He was well liked by all.
> However, on the 27th May 1906, he was killed in an underground accident at
> a lead mine he part owned. He is buried in the English cemetery at Linares,
> Andalucia, Spain
> The Bonham Carter family knew Reginald as 'Reggie', but to the Spanish he
> was affectionately known as ‘Don Regino’. Coming from an influential
> family, his story is an interesting one.
> During his time in Linares, Reginald was a prolific letter writer, many of
> which have survived. The authors have examined this legacy, and have become
> very involved with the story of the British contribution to the history of
> Linares. Rob and Margaret Vernon have a knowledge of British and foreign
> mining history, and live near Tewkesbury, England
