E-text prepared by David Garcia, Josephine Paolucci, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Underworld: The Story of Robert Sinclair, Miner" by James C. Welsh is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the life of Robert Sinclair and his family, highlighting the struggles of coal miners and the socio-economic challenges they face, particularly during tough financial times. It explores themes of poverty, dignity, and the fight for workers' rights. The opening of the book sets the tone by introducing the Sinclair family, depicting the harsh realities of their life in a mining village. We meet Geordie Sinclair, a miner injured in an accident, and his resilient wife, Nellie, who works tirelessly to provide for their four children amidst dire circumstances. The narrative conveys the emotional weight of their struggles through their interactions and thoughts, interlaced with the oppressive atmosphere of poverty and the looming presence of exploitation by figures like Jock Walker, a bullying local under-manager. The stage is set for a conflict between the oppressed miners and their oppressors, establishing a deep sense of injustice that permeates the family's life.
