Thread Name: Origins: Springhill Disaster/Ballad of Springhill
Subject: RE: Help: Who wrote the song Springhill Desaster?
As an aside... for those interested in mining disaster songs, James Keelaghan has a kick-ass song about Canada's worst Mining Disaster...

June something (?), 1914... an explosion in the Hillcrest Mine, in the Crowsnest Pass region of southern Alberta resulted in the deaths of 187 men and boys....

It's on James's cd "Small Rebellions"
