The Deep Dark by Gregg Olsen
In The Deep Dark, Gregg Olsen looks beyond the intensely suspenseful story of the fire and rescue to the wounded heart of Kellogg, a quintessential company town that has never recovered from its loss. A vivid and haunting chapter in the history of working-class America, this is one of the great rescue stories of the twentieth century.
Historical photos and an account of the Sunshine Mine disaster on the US Dept. of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration's website give an historical perspective of the tragedy.
Discussion questions to help guide your reading are available.
Timely topic
With the Utah mining tragedy, The Deep Dark becomes a very timely read!
