      About This Book

      The men of the North Wales slate quarries lived dangerous, unhealthy and
      underpaid lives; as a boy Toby Davies joined them. The quarries taught him
      precious truths about poverty and exploitation, but Toby also learned of love
      from the two beautiful women in his life - Bron and Nanwen O'Hara.

      Toby moved south to seek work in the coal mines, but found no easier future.
      He was there at the notorious Tonypany riots of 1910 and the police occupation
      of the Rhondda, and would never forget the savagery of the battles fought between
      the workers and the bosses.
