| Summary | "A History of the Durham Miner's Association 1870-1904" by John Wilson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the formation, development, and challenges faced by the Durham Miner's Association over a period marked by significant labor struggles. It delves into social, political, and industrial aspects relevant to the miners' collective efforts, aiming to record their efforts for organization and improved working conditions. The opening of the book sets the stage for the narrative by highlighting the author's deep connection to the miners and the importance of documenting their history. Wilson discusses the early attempts at unionization, noting the lack of records from the association's inception and the reliance on external sources for historical accuracy. He recounts significant events leading to the formation of the union, including critical strikes and legislative changes, emphasizing the slow but persistent evolution of collective organization among miners. The introduction lays a foundation for exploring the struggles and achievements of the miners as they fought for their rights and better conditions in the face of adversity.
