"The first intensive analysis of sense of place in American mining towns, Hard as the Rock Itself provides rare insight into the struggles and rewards of life in these communities....Robertson documents the history of Toluca, Illinois; Cokedale, Colorado; and Picher, Oklahoma, from the mineral discovery phase through mine closure, telling for the first time how these century-old mining towns have survived and how sense of place has played a vital role."
