New Mexico has a long history of mining. Even though it was often a dangerous occupation, thousands of New Mexicans, job-seekers from other parts of the country, and immigrants from other countries, worked throughout the state in mines.This book focuses on mining accidents, fatal and non-fatal, using the reports of the New Mexico State Mine Inspector. The details vary, but the entries often note the age and birthplace of the miner, his marital status, and the circumstances of his injury. A helpful chronology of New Mexican mines is also included. This is a valuable collection of records of interest to both genealogists and historians.There is a surname index and an extensive bibliography of materials related to mining in New Mexico.
