Talk:A Diary in a Mine

Impressive work there, twisting a real life event into delicious pasta. I did a quick Google and found an actual news article from the time (archived by Google, of course) about a Mr Charles Reuss and a Mr Bert Froy being caved in during a mining accident, and being rescued shortly after (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1915&dat=18990323&id=0AwiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dHMFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2198,6097362). Nothing on Ashland Parr, however. I suppose he was invented solely for the story? Would have been mind blowing if he was a real person (say, a miner who got lost in the same cave-in and was never found) but no story can be perfect, I guess.
