The Pikes Peak Genealogical Society and the Pikes Peak Library District will present “Cornish Hard Rock Miners in Cripple Creek and Leadville” on April 22, 1-3pm, at Penrose Library , 20 North Cascade, Colorado Springs . John James, from Truro, Cornwall, England, will discuss the 19th-century migration of hard rock miners from the Cornwall Peninsula, on England’s southwest coast, to the mines of Colorado, particularly Cripple Creek and Leadville. John James is a retired land management officer from Cornwall who is active as a mentor and assistant for an RAF cadet squadron stationed near his city. He has a strong interest in the culture of the American West and the Cornish diaspora of the late 19th century.
