Produktbeschreibung

El boom de la minería metálica de finales del XIX hizo que muchos trabajadores británicos viajaran a otros países en busca de trabajo y oportunidades. Reginald Bonham Carter, un joven ingeniero inglés, vivió ocho años en España y jugó un importante rol en las comunidades britanica y española de Linares, una ciudad minera del plomo de Jaén, donde vivió y trabajó casi todo ese tiempo. La familia Bonham Carter lo llamaban "Reggie", pero los españoles lo conocían cariñosamente como "Don Regino". Proveniente de un influyente familia, la suya es una historia interesante. Durante su estancia en Linares, Reginald fue un prolífico escritor de cartas, muchas de las cuales se conservan. Los autores han revisado ese legado, que está muy relacionado con la contribución británica a la historia de Linares. Rob y Margaret Vernon son conocedores tanto de la historia británica como la extranjera, y viven cerca de Tewkesbury, Inglaterra. The boom in metal mining in the late 1800s resulted in numerous British workers travelling to many other countries in search of work and opportunity. 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. 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.

Autorenporträt

Robert (Rob) Vernon grew up in Liverpool. He studied geology at London University and for most of his career worked as a coal geologist (deep mines). With the demise of the coal industry Rob returned to University and gained a Doctorate. Rob has previously co-authored various books about the lead mining industry of northwest Wales (Gwydyr and the Lleyn Peninsula) which are still in print, and edited three editions of the National Association of Mining History Organisation's handbook. Later his interest turned to British mining companies that worked in Spain, particularly in the Linares area, where he is an honorary member of the local mining heritage group. He has written three books about the area. One, 'Don Regino' about the English mechanical engineer Reginald Bonham-Carter, also available in Spanish, was co-authored with his wife Margaret. Other works include a history of the Hathorn Davey engineering company established in Leeds. Rob's main interest is the British firm of mining consultants, John Taylor and Sons and has travelled widely looking at their world-wide mining endeavours. He also has an interest in the spread of British mining technology world-wide.
